Taking a late night cab back to Frankfurt from Oase or Sharks
[QUOTE=TheCane;2636963]Like many of you, its been a while since I've been to Germany. I just took a look at the Deutsche Bahn site and, at least what turned up from my sample searches, they're at least for now running lots of faster trains between Frankfurt and Darmstadt, so now you can get to Darmstadt quicker than you can to Friedrichsdorf, with the latter still only being served on a slower S train route. Be that as it may, that doesn't change distance, and I would not recommend that anybody let distance be a deciding factor as to whether or not to go to Sharks versus Oase. What I noted before still holds true, which is that it's very easy to get to either club without a car. Just do a train / taxi tandem ride at a relatively low cost.
We're talking a little less than 30 minutes on the train to Oase, and maybe about half that amount of time on the train to Sharks (if it's a fast train). Besides, if you stay late into the morning at either club fucking and drinking and eating, you're still facing about an equal length taxi ride back to Frankfurt. In my opinion, World is the only club where distance from Frankfurt ought to be an important factor. When World was the bomb, it was a must-see club no doubt! But these days, even since before COVID actually, not so much anymore. I still never heard a good explanation for what happened at World and why it fell off so much. Anyway, Germany with all of these different fucking trains! S, RE, RB, ICE, IC, EC! How the hell is a monger supposed to keep it all straight![/QUOTE]While both cab rides might be expensive (40+ Euro) what I do if I know I'm staying late 2 AM+ at the club is I talk to a couple of other guys to see if they are taking a cab in my direction and I end up sharing a cab with them and splitting the price.
