An average of thirteen (!) people die per DAY on their national rail system due to accidents.
Their major transit hubs even have a small morgue to hold bodies until they can be claimed by family.
We cannot grasp their approach to maintaining safety and preserving life.

Their rail fatality rate is about twice the US rate. Not bad for being behind the technological curve of us and having close to a billion people.
