Japan is the MVP here. I live there and I literally have never seen a train not arrive exactly at the scheduled time. However "public" transport is privately owned so... Uh... Yeah, tradeoffs.

Given that it works so well, what are the negatives due to being private? Is it expensive to ride?

Is it expensive to ride?

Yeah. It also stops running at around 11 or 12 so if you stay out late you just might find you can't get back home.
