Do you execute a driver in Japan?

Foreign countries only include delays of 15 minutes or more in their delay statistics. That is, operation of the scheduled time in Japan is a delay of less than 1 minute in statistics, whereas operation of the foreign scheduled time is a delay of less than 15 minutes in statistics. For example, statistics of the inter city in Britain in 1997 are provided by the British parliament. The operating efficiency of the scheduled time was 88.2%. However, the delays of less than 10 minutes are not included in the statistics at all. This is an important point. Statistics of the sleeping cars of Scotland have included delays of 30 minutes or more. Which means that one of eight sleeper trains in Scotland will be late by 30 minutes or more.
A group of inspectors of the railroads of Germany famous for exact operation made a joke about trains in Japan. They said, "If a train is behind, do you execute the driver in Japan?" I am proud of the correctness in operation of Japanese trains. However, in fact, it is not necessarily a desirable thing. A foreigner will think how such a thing is possible. If you want to know Japanese culture and society, you should investigate a railroad of Japan. A railroad of Japan is just a miniature of Japanese society. A railroad of Japan is not simply exact. It has the tense social situation which must be operated strictly.
