> Germany’s new transport minister says bonus payments for Deutsche Bahn executives should be linked more directly to the struggling national rail operator’s achievement of government targets. The proposal comes as criticism grows over chronic delays. Management pay is also drawing increased scrutiny. The measure would connect executive rewards more closely to the company’s performance against official goals.
