Only 25 mins late? That's news?
















Coming from Auckland and living in Seoul I have experienced both really amazing public transport and really horrible transport. It is interesting what makes the news over here. The other day Subway Line No. 2, which has the heaviest patronage of all lines was delayed by 25 minutes. It was all over the evening and internet news and it was such a big deal. It got me thinking, imagine if they had a news article every time trains got delayed at peak hour in Auckland!

And it gets better! On one particular morning the delays were so bad the subway stations issued proof of lateness tickets which workers could give to their bosses!
