Re: Disillusionment! Swiss trains running late

Ok now compare what we have here for a transport system to what you had in your country of origin.

There, I'm feeling infinitely better now, what about you?
Well, my country of origin is Switzerland, but I'd like to compare it to the area in the USA which I call home too, the Grand Traverse Area in Michigan.

Honestly, I've never noticed a single minute of delay there, much better than in Switzerland. Granted, there are no passenger trains in an area twice as big as Switzerland, which makes things a bit simpler. The next bus station is four miles away, with five connections per day in each direction. That makes only five delayed busses a day, compared with up to 85 delayed busses in Switzerland. Isn't statitistics fun?
