We all know that trains delay in India, they delay a lot. Huge delays like 5-6 hrs have become regular now a days. See attached sample. Now I am not going to the facts like reasons, responsible zones, remedy etc., But I am trying to find how we react to train delays.
It's an irony of fact, but I feel we have somehow become habituated to train delays, as if we have accepted the fact. We talk about legendary punctuality of Japanese trains and admit that it is never going to...

People take trains in order to reach a destination. In that destination, they might have various kinds of work waiting for them like office work, seminar work, exam etc. Also, that destination might be a touring destination for many travelers and so they have all sorts of plans in place regarding where they will go on what day etc. Now, consider that a train is supposed to reach a destination in the morning.
