With 179 stations, nine lines and over 2.3 billion users each year, the Tokyo Metro is the heart of Tokyo’s public transport system. This film goes behind the scenes to explore the mind-set, skill and technology behind its astonishing reliability and punctuality. The Tokyo Metro is so punctual that people set their watches by the arrival of the trains; if a train is more than a minute late, the driver has to make a personal apology. This film explores the reasons behind the Metro’s reputation for running on time, to reveal a long-established culture focused on avoiding failure through contingency planning for any event - from terrorism to earthquakes - and the introduction of new technology to improve safety and systematic preventative maintenance. However, we reveal the key to the Metro’s efficiency is exhaustive training for its station staff and drivers, who are trained to drive at precise speeds even if the technology fails.

The whole culture is what makes this possible. There are many well developed subway and commuter rail systems in other parts of the world, but the people who use them are often the cause of delays. An example. I was commuting to Copenhagen last week, when my train got stuck at a station for 10 minutes. The reason? A guy with a bicycle wanted to get on the train, but it was almost at full capacity. So how does he cope with this situation? Simple. He blocked the door with his bicycle, so the train couldn't leave and stood there looking offended. Because if HE couldn't get on, then the train was not allowed to go anywhere. After 10 minutes of yelling back and forward, some of the passengers finally gave up, left the train, and let him in so we could continue, Ah, the beauty of the new western "me" culture....

There are timetables for each NYC Subway line, and to be fair, the MTA does a pretty good job of keeping up with it. The problem with the NYC Subway ultimately comes down to us, the riders. We treat the trains like shit, dump trash everywhere, piss on the seats, hold the doors open for people, jump on the tracks for a selfie, etc. Japanese people have a lot more respect for society, which is a major component to their on-time performance. Of course, the MTA sucks, and doesn't give a shit about on-time performance, but not all of it is their fault.

Italian trains... NEVER BE ON TIME 30min ~1hour late? on their standard "it is on time" when i was traveling Italia i had to transfer train to train. and my train was late like 20 min... i won't be make it on time... So, i complained to train crew and his answer was "Don't worry they will be late too";;; cuz I thought he is just giving me excuse not to recompense I did not believe him! So,when i arrived on transit station. I ran like hell to that platform while carrying 48inch big 42Kg heavily baggage(i was running so hard i broke one of handle of it;;) And Train was late 1 hour without any notice;;;

When the Philippine MRT trains break down (which is like twice a week) all they say is "Sorry for the inconvenience" and you still pay full price for wherever you've stopped. It was maintained by the Japanese for 15 years with no hitches whatsoever and running at 60km/h. Then the government decided it was having enough of that and changed to inexperienced maintenance providers (one of which was incorporated only two months before it was given the contract without even bidding). Now it can only run at 45km/h with weekly disruptions and at least 3 accidents with injuries for the last 5 years. And now the new trains they bought, which totals around 76M USD, are found to be unusable.

Anything delayed by 30 mins or more generally gets cancelled. Anything expected to be over an hour late gets cancelled. Anything 3 or more mins late, generally, gets announced why and what to do. If the NS (Railway company) keeps doing that then we're like okay, that is unfortunate and we complain afterwards massively online, on social media etc. After that the NS gets a fine bigger than most incomes.
