Nowadays ? When were they punctial ? Have you waited for delayed trains in the the 1950ies, 60ies, 70ies, 80ies ? Not ? Then you either have not been here or drove by car. In reality however they by average were punctial then and still are.

I think this is the product of Switzerland's international and maybe mythical reputation. One of the things people say when I tell them I live in Switzerland is "
Oh, I bet you can set your clock by the trains, can't you." They are always surprised when I tell them the local trains, especially, are regularly 5 or 6 minutes late.
That is not a criticism on my part it's just me saying that Switzerland is outstandingly normal, it just carries around this super-efficient reputation which seems to have been bestowed upon it by visitors to the country.
