The two best on time nations in the world are Switzerland and Japan. The two have a long standing history of battling out the best on time annual record. On time means, if the train is scheduled to leave at 12:03, the train leaves at 12:03:00. On the arrival side, on time is anything Before, or within less than one minute of the posted arrival time.
In the USA, 4 hours either way is considered on time. We don’t have a ghosts chance in hell of ever having a national railroad system that runs on time.... at least nothing like Switzerland or Japan. Our unionized Railroad culture can not and never will allow it. We don’t have an on time culture. Never will have...
