I arrived after ten, went through the control quickly and rushed to catch my train — I was hurrying to see my beloved wife. As I ran along the platform, a gentleman stepped out of the carriage and said calmly, “Don’t worry, take it easy — the train will leave in five minutes.” I smiled, feeling relieved, and walked on, happy and excited to be on my way to her.

    the cleanliness of the train, the short time during which you can take advantage of it and if you missed one train, get on the next one, as well as the fact that the ticket is valid for the whole day
