I love the old-timey pocketwatch hanging on the control panel

@blaarp Yeah. It's a tradition of Japanese railway's culture.

whats an average commute time for business man?

[ks3298]

According to the NHK's survey, an national average is 39 minites.

As far as Tokyo area goes, it take 51 minutes on the average.

This what we need in the US. A real passenger rail network. AMTRAK is OK, but we finally have an administartion that wants to build high-speed rail. Thank God we have Obama instead of McSame.

Building more rail projects will employ people and help the economy. Let's hire the Japanese to build it and supervise it because it's obvious American companies can't even build cars right.

@KuraIthys They're not announcing it being a few seconds late.  In Japan, they are required to say that out loud, most likely for the cabin recorders for the black boxes (trains have them too), or for a co-driver, as sometimes there is another driver on standby.

@KuraIthys He's not announcing that it's a few seconds late, in Japan the driver is required to say that out loud.  I'm not sure why, but it may be required for the cabin recording for the black boxes (shinkansen have them too), or for a co-driver which is sometimes present on shinkansen trains.

This is very impressive. Most countries I've taken a train in don't even bother announcing it as late unless it's at least 5 minutes. And being that punctual is also very difficult. I've tried it in a simulator, and that is far from easy to do...

日本の新幹線は開業以来、46年間無事故。

カタチはパクれても、安全と技術まではパクれない。

@ElProfGringo Acela had the potential to be like the Shinkansen system if they would have improved the infrastructure.
