    Germany is worse than that. For the German statistic 5 minutes and 59 seconds delayed counts as punctual, and if the train doesn’t arrive at all it is not counted. So delyed trains often skip the last station and just turn around so they can start the next trip punctual, but that doesn’t count as unpunctuality.

    Also the statistic is only for single trains. So if you miss your connection because over one third of the trains is delayed by more than 6 minutes and the next train runs every hour, then that counts as being 8 minutes delayed and punctual even if the customer arrived 1 hour after their planned arrival.
