Here in Singapore, we've been experiencing a lot of breakdowns in our train services, often resulting in delays of 10-20 minutes.
Our trains usually run on frequencies of of 2-3 minutes during rush hour, and 3-5 minutes off peak. Wait times above 6 minutes, we start complaining. More than 10 minutes, and it's national news.
We want to be like Japan and Switzerland; punctual, no exceptions.
I want trains to be on time down to the second, and that also applies to our buses. Bus wait times exceeding 5 minutes is unacceptable and our ministers should be punished.
How the fuck do you people in Germany survive delays? Isn't it not normal to not lose your shit after exactly 1 second the train hasn't arrive at the station? How many Japanese tourists have committed sudoku just waiting?

Everyday train delay: 5-10 minutes.
Frequent train delay: 10-30 minutes.
Once a week train delay: 60-120 minutes.
Once a month train gone: Not arriving 'cuz it's so late, it has been turned back. Take next train instead.
We aren't happy about these waiting times, but it is what it is. T_T
A single visit to Finland was really eye-opening even being a fan of public transit and walkable cities beforehand. It's just plain depressing.
Our deranged chancellor is yapping about us having to work more hours per week so Germany can stay competitive, but he is blind to the immense number of hours of workforce we are losing due to train delays. Its literal limbo. Thus i Go by car >(
It could also be the poor who can't even afford to buy a car
