The Japanese, operating the Shinkansen, would commit Seppuku.
I can assure you that you won't find an Italian person surprised by this.
Trenitalia is something else, and any commuter that regularly uses their trains can tell you horror stories about their services.
Ironically, trains don't run on time, despite their fame.
except the london underground, that shit comes once ever 3 mins bang on time, I miss it so bad.
except the times I had to use the overground like a fucking chump, that shit's just national rail with a brand makeover. I had to wait like 20 mins to get on the train to go get laid after work.
worth it though

You understand that that was about fascist Italy, right? And the reality is that they did not run on time.
Oh yeah the other things fascists are known for is reasoning and telling the truth
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_time
my idea is more that they printed out timetables, set up clocks etc to claim that they are punctual.
I am Italian. I just wanted to share this crazy news to the world. π
I can't not pronounce that like "genitalia" in my mind.
Youβre not the only one.
Itβs similar, just with slightly larger tunnels.
Fascists: "At least under Mussolini the trains ran on time!"
Italy under (fascist) Meloni:
The trains did not in fact run on time.

Say what you will about Mussolini, he does a great salami impression π
Deutsche Bahn has an evil brother.
The German government should retake full control and bring back Deutsche Bundesbahn. Deutsche Bahn AG is a fucking failure.
deutsche bahn would still be late
DB: the train is late 5 minutes. Actually 20. Actually 45. Actually 97. Actually the train was just cancelled 1 hour ago for no reason, but we were too afraid to tell you because you might get mad ππ»ππ»
they just wanted to save everyone the embarassment of being -40 minutes late to work
This would be better suited for /c/nottheonion
And Trenitalia blamed the passengers, because many of them received a warning SMS but didn't drastically change their plans to adapt to the train's new schedule!
How to cover up leaving 10 minutes late!
Anyone from a country with Arriva gets this.
Trenitalia is pure gold!
Ma cuanto mi manca Italiaβ¦
