     @maciej73 probably also some silly regulatory requirements that it must look exactly like that, because it looks exactly like that at any German train station.

     @kaia That grounding looks awful tho. Why not use a flat strip and bend it so that it doesn't look like total crap? Oh wait, that takes slightly more time and effort than crimping a connector on a piece of wire...

     @maciej73 yeah I presume it's connected to rebar :akko_mmh:

     @kaia I will pay more attention to grounding now, but I don't think I saw wires like that anywhere in Poland 🤔 I also don't think things like handrails are grounded over here, but I'll check it next time at the train station

     Also, do you happen to know what the wire that goes into the concrete grounds? The rebar inside of it? That probably wouldn't make much sense? 🤔

     @kaia Maybe the rebar does double-duty and is connected to a "real" ground somwhere? I guess code could allow it with sufficient thickness of the rebar
