As they used to say when I worked for E&Y near Zurich: “never be 30 seconds late for a Swiss train.” I was once on a train from Austria to Switzerland and the station master in Sargens came on board apologized on behalf of Swiss because the train was six minutes late (in horrendous weather conditions, and with a truck full of goats blocking the track, something totally out of the railroad’s control). The Swiss take punctuality very seriously.
