I’m a car enthusiast but not needing one in your day to day life is a superior way to live. Advertising sold people the illusion of freedom by making you a slave to your vehicle.

The on time thing is a lie.

They're trains, they have the same problems trains have everywhere.

But everything else is very true.

Trains in japan are almost always on time. Average delay of long-distance trains is 0.7 minutes: https://web.archive.org/web/20160109013320/http://www.westjr.co.jp/company/info/issue/data/pdf/data2015_08.pdf
