Deeply sorry

November 20, 2017

A Japanese railway operator has issued a sincere apology for the ‘tremendous nuisance’ caused by a train departing 20 seconds early, surprising even the nation renowned for both punctuality and politeness.
Not much of a surprise as the ‘punctuality and politeness’ of Pakistan Railways is much higher as it ensures same time arrival/departure with the only variable being a change in the calendar date.
