The two countries with the best rail systems in the world. Which one is the ultimate champion?
The two have different approaches.
Japan:
>excels in HSR and dense commuter service
>neglects rural and regional services
>mainly private companies focused on profitability
>colorful variety of unique trains
>no overarching coordination of lines or timetables
Switzerland
>even levels of service
>no neglect of regional services but no HSR
>public companies or private companies with publicly concerted service
>focus on service and not profitability, highly subsidized
>trains all similar across the country
>"integrated clock-face schedule", almost all public transport nationwide is systematically coordinated
Basically Japan has higher highs and lower lows, while Switzerland has same-y quality all over, for better or for worse.
What's the /n/-autists verdict?
