How Romanian Railways Shagged Us Sideways
About a year ago, Romanian Railways decided to do something about the massive delays in their train schedule.
They chose to go about it in a unique way: INCLUDE the current delays in the schedule.

And faster than you could say "damn trains are always late" they were now always on time. Sometimes a little early.
I am traveling right now, by train. And talking to Oana, I realized that, since CFR (Romanian Railways) charge by the kilometer + speed supplement, the price of the tickets should have gone down.
Guess what, the price stayed the same. And actually went up a bit. So CFR not only shagged us in the behind with their creative delay strategy, they got us to pay more for train rides that take longer.
I feel retroactively violated!
