Re: Disillusionment! Swiss trains running late

Sorry!
LEB is the name of the train in Lausanne
Ok, so you take a tiny little train company covering 24 km of the more than 5500 km of the Swiss railroad network and present it as if it were typical for the whole system.

You start your rant stating, "I completely agree and share your frustations!
After all I heard about SWISS trains, I am surprised and desapointed." Then you list all your pet peeves with LEB as if they represented the whole network.

It's only in the last part of your last sentence that you admit that actually your generous ranting is based on observations that comprise only 0.44% of the network: " Well other things are good, buses are often, etc... but the LEB simply su.cks!"

Don't you think you are generalizing a bit too much?
