    As a train driver, I manage correct timing all the time by extensively taking shortcuts. You’re welcome. /j

      I read that in Germany they basically do this. If running late, they don’t stop in all the stations to save time. They skipped your station? Boohoo.

        That’s because a canceled stop does not count for the “delayed” statistic, which they optimize for. It’s a great example of how a metric becoming a goal makes it a terrible metric!
