Say what you will about Mussolini, he does a great salami impression π
The trains did not in fact run on time.

The Japanese, operating the Shinkansen, would commit Seppuku.
Deutsche Bahn has an evil brother.
deutsche bahn would still be late
DB: the train is late 5 minutes. Actually 20. Actually 45. Actually 97. Actually the train was just cancelled 1 hour ago for no reason, but we were too afraid to tell you because you might get mad ππ»ππ»
How to cover up leaving 10 minutes late!
I can assure you that you won't find an Italian person surprised by this.
Trenitalia is something else, and any commuter that regularly uses their trains can tell you horror stories about their services.
Ironically, trains don't run on time, despite their fame.
except the london underground, that shit comes once ever 3 mins bang on time, I miss it so bad.
except the times I had to use the overground like a fucking chump, that shit's just national rail with a brand makeover. I had to wait like 20 mins to get on the train to go get laid after work.
worth it though

You understand that that was about fascist Italy, right? And they reality is that they didnβt run on time.
Oh yeah the other things fascists are known for is reasoning and telling the truth
I can't not pronounce that like "genitalia" in my mind.
Youβre not the only one.
Itβs similar, just with slightly larger tunnels.
I am Italian. I just wanted to share this crazy news to the world. π
they just wanted to save everyone the embarassment of being -40 minutes late to work
This would be better suited for /c/nottheonion
Ma cuanto mi manca Italiaβ¦
And Trenitalia blamed the passengers, because many of them received a warning SMS but didn't drastically change their plans to adapt to the train's new schedule!
Anyone from a country with Arriva gets this.
Were there even any passengers on it at that point
Trenitalia is pure gold!
