Japan's bullet trains are so punctual that a 20-second early departure requires a formal apology.<br />The Shinkansen reaches 320 km/h (200 mph). But speed isn't the impressive part. It's the timekeeping.<br />Average delay per train? Less than 24 seconds per YEAR.<br />If a train is 60 seconds late, passengers get an apology announcement.<br />And when a train once left the station 20 seconds EARLY? The company issued a formal apology. It made international news.<br />In most countries, a train being a few minutes late is normal. In Japan, a minute late is embarrassing. Twenty seconds early is unacceptable.<br />Zero passenger fatalities in its entire history. Over 400,000 passengers daily.
