DB: the train is late 5 minutes. Actually 20. Actually 45. Actually 97. Actually the train was just cancelled 1 hour ago for no reason, but we were too afraid to tell you because you might get mad 👉🏻👈🏻
And Trenitalia blamed the passengers, because many of them received a warning SMS but didn't drastically change their plans to adapt to the train's new schedule!

I can assure you that you won't find an Italian person surprised by this.
Trenitalia is something else, and any commuter that regularly uses their trains can tell you horror stories about their services.

You understand that that was about fascist Italy, right? And the reality is that they did not run on time.

Oh yeah the other things fascists are known for is reasoning and telling the truth

my idea is more that they printed out timetables, set up clocks etc to claim that they are punctual.

The German government should retake full control and bring back Deutsche Bundesbahn. Deutsche Bahn AG is a fucking failure.
