"Complete failure" on the MVGO (Munich public transportation) app. But maybe the complete failure is not hiring employees who actually speak English and using AI for translation instead?
Screenshot with the text: Due to track construction work, there will be a complete complete failure on the S1 between Leuchtenbergring and Ostbahnhof in the period from 27.06.2026 to 13.09.2026.

 

Notice: This text was partially optimised using AI (artificial intelligence) to improve readability. The English version was translated using AI.
