Wow this is fascinating. Clockwork, like everything else in Japan. I first noticed this when in Kyoto. The driver would point at the schedule, speedometer, sensors and all else. I found it slightly odd but made a mental note to google it later, which I eventually forgot.
- dom0 10y ago> I found it slightly odd but made a mental note to google it later, which I eventually forgot. See, that sort of thing doesn't happen with pointing-and-calling :)
- suls 10y agoI think the "clockwork" reference is somewhat overrated. Local trains are often late due to wind or snow ..
- lovemenot 10y agoDo you live in Hokkaido? Or maybe on a really local branch? I live in Tokyo, take around four trains a day on many different lines and that is just not the case here.
- kalleboo 10y agoMy experience with Tokyo (I only visit about once a year, live in Kyushu) is the trains there are always off-schedule due to "accidents" :/
- suls 10y agoSendai, Miyagi it is. Trains come in from a bit more country side. I'd like to think of Tokyo As the exception to Japan. Having said that, all the pointing and calling is happenening everywhere.
- spectistcles 10y agoIn Japan they might be a little delayed. In Boston the trains just don't come at all. One time I was stuck on a train for four hours because a switch was frozen (normally a 40 minute trip).
- lovemenot 10y ago>> made a mental note to google it later, which I eventually forgot. Perhaps you should have made a large "search" gesture while calling out potential keywords.
- krapp 10y agoIt's funny because that's probably how "googling" will be done in the future.
