I guessed that, though I'll never miss an opportunity to roast them.
It is both parts enfuriating and embarrassing that the "heart of Europe" has one of the worst functioning railway infrastructure of Europe.

Edit: Six minutes late means on time for them, not joking.
As an Indian, I would consider 6 mins very much on time lol. We have an avg delay of 30 mins minimum lol.
Just to add insult to injury for the cited statistic: they only count delayed trains. If a train has accumulated too much delay, they might stop it and make it turn around and it never completes its journey. This will count as a cancelled train instead of a delayed train and thus it is not counted as a part of that statistic... So the reality is even worse than you'd expect.
Just wanted to add that this is a metro station, which are run by BVG, not Deutsche Bahn, and which have much better service quality
And then people have this stereotype of German punctuality... 🙄
