    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.

        Ironically, trains don’t run on time, despite their fame.

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

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_time

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

      I can’t not pronounce that like “genitalia” in my mind.

        You’re not the only one.

        It’s similar, just with slightly larger tunnels.
