I find the expectation that all trains must be perfectly on time a little unfair, given that the private sector form of transport (flying) often has regular and huge delays

Trains could be a lot better in many places, but I also think that expecting perfection is always going to bring some disappointment too. Even when trains are delayed it's much more comfortable of an experience than flying

I think we can still ask for much more from our governments and public institutions, when it comes to public transportation budgets A lot of delays come down to funding: old infrastructure overdue for replacement and maintenance for ex

Running trains on time shouldn't be rocket science when the budget is there tbh We don't need to squeeze every last drop of efficiency out of the system, only to find it unprepared for every minor incident

Fixing this should be a priority for the government or the mayor, and citizens are right to complain about it imo But I agree that flights seem to get far less complaining, for no apparent reason
