It's cultural
Japanese specifically seem to have a lot of cultural things tied in to respect and shame. It's detrimental effects of that but when it comes to things like not committing crime or littering it works well. In America we can't even admit that being obese is a bad thing so our culture is probably just going be less unified and efficient as everything gets justified by some % of the pop

I've been to Japan. It was one of my favorite traveling experiences.

It's an inherent characteristic among Americans to think we're the greatest country on earth. This idea is spewed loudest from people who haven't traveled anywhere -- or at least -- traveled very little.

Anyway, long story short....yeah there are a lot of things Japan and other countries do better than us. And we should learn from them.

Also America values “independence” so we have a culture that only thinks about themselves.

Thats why we can’t get shyt done here

Honestly speaking idk why the trains in NYc are slow. The only excuse is that some of the stops are two close to eachother but most of the subways run in a straight line.

Why the slow speeds?

Amtrak? Why is Amtrak so slow and why is CSX its daddy?

they grew up cleaning after themselves and others in schools. that behavior and mentality forged in their youth translate to adult spaces being cleaner in general.
