During the month of the ban on alcohol in Germany, 15 thousand violations were registered. Deutsche Bahn called it a measure of success. A month after the ban on alcohol consumption in train stations and platforms, Deutsche Bonn employees prevented more than 15,000 violations. In most cases the investigators undertook to comply, removed bottles or left the station. Only in some cases did they have to make orders. Compliance with the ban is monitored by the DB Sicherheit service, whose number of employees per year has increased from 4,500 to 5,000 people. The police are only involved in cases of conflict. Deutsche Bahn is considered the new step to success. The train operator said that there are fewer conflicts at the train stations and less waste at the stations. The new index has been approved by passengers, according to Deutsche Bahn. According to a survey by the company, about 80% of respondents support the ban. Critics of the initiative warn of possible side effects. Homeless aid organizations and station staff fear alcohol-related and social phenomena may simply move from train stations to neighboring areas and not disappear. @wglavnoe.
