  1. It kinda makes sense though... if you have a public transportation system that is this punctual, and not a whole lot of unpredictable situations to interrupt a commute or just going somewhere, punctuality becomes more important just by virtue of being less justifiable. xD Of course, there is the cultural aspect of it definitely... here in Brazil, among friends there isn't much of an expectation of punctuality in the first place. But say for work related situations, you are expected to be punctual, but bosses and co-workers cannot get too angry if you aren't because everyone knows how chaotic public transportation and even regular transit can be here depending on where you live. In my city, if it's raining everyone already assumes that people will be late. Because traffic jams and slowdowns are pretty much guaranteed. It's also kinda unpredictable, which is the worst part I guess. Like, if you knew that leaving an hour earlier would guarantee you to get there on time, it wouldn't be too bad, but reality is that you never know... slow downs, accidents, blocked streets, floods, etc all factor in. Smartphones made this easier though... if you are gonna get half and hour or more late, you better get in contact. :P
