Default London - Kiev comparisons

They reverse our system of having an electronic sign saying when the
next train is due; rather, they have a clock showing how long it's been
since the last train left. ...


A passenger information system that works on the presumption that
everything is running smoothly and trains really do come every ten
minutes... how bizarre!


Or a passenger information system that provides the information that's
easy to provide instead of the information people actually want.
