H-Bahn

The H-Bahn (abbreviation of Hochgeschwindigkeitszug Bahn) is the name of all Highspeed Rail services provided by RGB in Brumen. The H-Bahn is found in all RGB's subsidiaries and is generally its most profitable business units. The first H-Bahn network commenced operations in 1970 along the Dinsmark-Flusstadt rail corridor, which at the time was the busiest and most congested rail corridor in Brumen, was an immediate success. Ridership during its maiden trip was high and the service was able to maintain relatively consistent daily ridership levels. Highspeed Rail became a topic of national discussion, its popularity surged exponentially prompting the RGB to propose multiple expansion plans which were approved by the federal government. Both federal & private loans made by the RGB were approved and each of its subsidiaries soon began construction of their own H-Bahn lines. By 1974 all subsidiaries of RGB had at least one H-Bahn corridor in active service. During its infancy however the H-Bahn proposal was met with fierce resistance, mostly from automobile lobby groups who feared that the implementation of a rapid transit system would lead to a decline in automobile ownership. Politicians who were endorsed by these lobby groups became the most vocal opponents of the H-Bahn network, calling for an end of federal funding for the RGB's H-Bahn expansion programs. Opponents of the H-Bahn argued that the H-Bahn is not entitled to receive both federal & state funding and its continued funding should be derived from the RGBs' own revenues. Eventually in 1975 lawmakers in both Congress and Conclave of the Bundeskammern held public hearings for adoption of the H-Bahn network with all H-Bahn expansions put on hold. In spite of these roadblocks however public support for the H-Bahn and RGB skyrocketed, mostly drive due to the efficiency and convenience delivered by H-Bahn services. Eventually proponents of the H-Bahn in Congress & Conclave prevailed which cemented the H-Bahn as a strategic component of the country's public transportation network, guaranteeing its continued access to government funding on the federal & state levels.
