Affairs of the day

• Swiss people like digging the streets. Yes, you can see everywhere they are repairing the streets. Do Swiss have problems with their street network? One certain thing is that it is no more comfortable to go.
• Train delays. What is more important for trains, being on-time or keeping the successive order? One often seen situation: 4 trains run shortly after each other, the 1st one has 4 minutes delay, if keeping the successive order of the trains, all trains will have delays. Besides it is also extremely difficult to be on-time exactly in minutes. A train which is scheduled to leave a station at 14:23 for example may not leave the station before this time, otherwise the passengers can not catch the train, but also should not leave much later than this, otherwise it will have delay and make delays to the other trains. Maybe it is better to schedule two time points: closing time and leaving time. A train should be closed at 14:23:00 for example, passengers arriving later than this can not catch the train, and it should leave half a minute later for example.
• It is bad to arrive at the same time as the appointment.
