They figured out a loophole to improve the statistics: a train can’t be late if it never arrives.
Check out the french way: trains regularly 5-15 minutes late? Just add 20 minutes to the arrival time.
It does work through 😁
In Wellington, NZ is the busses and trains are often late, but they run every 5-20 mins and they have electronic boards telling you when they are estimated to arrive based on real time tracking, so it’s not a big deal when you can just show up and one won’t be far away.
We got that on busses too, but the trains I was referring to are like 2h trains that go 500km.
Ah right. Yeah we don’t have a lot those, we have a hub and spoke system of commuter trains, with gaps filled with busses.
Wellington is services by a couple of weekday trains from neighbouring cities, that are each approx 2 hours away (slow ones, travelling around 150km distance in that time). Of those trains, one only runs once a day and not at all on weekend, and the other is only like 4 a day and 2 on weekends. Intercity rail is not that good here. You can get Wellington<->Auckland (two biggest cities) but it’s priced for tourists not commuters (goes pasts mountains etc). Plus is a whole day’s travel, we don’t have fast trains.
