Story from Photographer:
‘Starting last Monday, Munich experienced major outages of its problematic S-Bahn train network during morning rush hour. A series of cold-related failures crippled the system eventually shutting it down. The problems persisted into Thursday and frustrated residents of Munich finally want answers for why a wealthy and technologically advanced city has to suffer with a persistently unreliable rail network. These questions are currently being brought to the Bavarian Parliament by the SPD party.
In my case, I went out and tried to get anywhere and was also left stuck. However, I saw stories in front of me in the faces of the thousands of people stranded on platforms and what their expressions were and how they interacted with one another. I only had my smartphone on me and began shooting the people at various stations.’
The movie would not be possible without the dedicated contributing photographers and editors at ZUMA Press.
