I fear that the general public in Germany will not be praising this achievement. The once efficient and punctional trains in Germany have deteriorated severely in the past years due to lots of delayed maintenance causing lots of delays and even regular cancelations of trains. Also the road infrastructure is suffering from delayed maintenance.

Meanwhile our trains in the USA run at 50-100 km/h and are nonexistent in most places, so it's still an achievement.
