I thought it was Mussolini that made the trains run on time.

I was just thinking the same thing.

Nah. He just adjusted the schedules to match the trains.

The German trains always ran on time. They’re German, for goodness sake. Teutonic precision, clockwork, and all that.

It worries me when I’m in Italy if a train is exactly on schedule. Is this a sign that fascism is returning?

You got it. Fascism had something to offer the tepid Italians, it made the trains run on time. ;)

In Germany the trains ALWAYS run on time. They are German.
