Don't go away...

One of the differences between here and Japan is that, obviously, there is no strict timetable for the public transportation here. While in Japan there were annual timetables for trains, buses and other means of transport, here you just know the working hours. And in the case of tramvia network (for which you have a timetable in every station), the cars are not on-schedule being sometimes out of service or delayed due to a reason.

Then, the waiting time could be prolonged and boring, you know. Here, nothing can help except the digital world. The digital boards which are supposed to indicate the arrival time of next train, know how to do it: They just countdown in a non-stop way. I mean, while counting-down for the next train, and in the case of delay, they never reach zero. And before reaching zero, they change to a higher value and continue countdown.

So, you never know when the next train is here. But, at least, you don't loose your hope. The board says: Don't go away, it will come!
