Nice, I wasn't aware of those facts. On another hand, about the Pokémon fact, I wonder if it's related to the Porygon episode (that was banned from airing everywhere else), but I already heard about it.
Woah, nice!
These are some pretty interesting facts.
The punctual trains I can confirm: NEVER had a problem with the Subway and bus services when I was there.
It's because people use public transport more than cars.
