SUMMARY

The Deutsche Bahn regularly has delayed trains and pays a compensation of the original ticket price at specific thresholds.
Unfortunately, the reporting process is kind of complicated (or at least was complicated the last time I did it), especially since the DB deletes older delays in their online data (so it seems all the trains a few hours ago weren't delayed at all).

Maybe it would be possible with Itinerary to automate the process:
- Itineraty could track the delays for each station.
- It is able to switch to alternatives, if the original trains is canceled or extremly delayed.
- It should know the whole travel route.
- Based on all that information (also ticket information) it should be possible to write the specific report so a user can send it in with one click.

Maybe this is also possible for other train companies, but I do not know them well enough to be able to say how meaningful the process is for them. Für the ÖBB, for example, I needed to chat with a bot on a website that asked for the data, which makes it much more complicated for Itinerary.
