I have heard two things about Japan and it's trains and subways, and I want to hear the truth from you my friend :)
- Is it true that trains and subways are almost never late? (happens a lot i Denmark lol)
- If the train/subway is late they will give you a little note you can show your boss so he will believe you? (I heard he probably wouldn't believe you because the trains/subs are always in time haha)
:)
For occasional reasons sometimes the trains got late, one of the reason is if someone commits suicide in the train...the cleaning takes time, sad truth...
The trains usually never got late, however, if it does ( which is usually on time) they provide a notice paper to your work or school. Because they are very strict with the time. I was once late when I am taking driving licence before, I was late by only 1 or 2 minutes but they already close the door and even I am knocking hard they did not open it because they said I was late rather told me I can come back by tomorrow. Lol
So the rumors are true, you guys are like the most punctual people ever.
That sounds so strict just closing the door and not letting you in lol :)
And wow sad to hear that someone would commit suicide in a train :(
