On the eve of Valentine’s Day, 500 German singles will climb aboard Deutsche Bahn’s "Flirt-Express" trains to meet the love of their lives.Usually, “missing a connection” when riding the train just means having to wait a little longer on the platform. However, with its second incarnation of the Flirt-Express, Deutsche Bahn, Germany’s national railway company, hopes to change all that.
On the eve of Valentine’s Day, Deutsche Bahn will play Cupid, inviting singles from across the country to participate in a speed dating event aboard 10 of its trains.
With the help of champagne and balloons, hopeful singles get a chance to talk to each other for five minutes before having to switch seats. "The couple must then decide whether they want to take it further," said Deutsche Bahn in a statement. If both parties are mutually interested, the company will send contact information to both a few days later.
For those who are still undecided about somebody they have met, Deutsche Bahn is organizing parties for after the ride, where passengers can flirt to their hearts content.
