#2 makes total sense if the delays are in seconds rather than minutes. If it was Japan, I'd easily believe that.

I'm amused by the wording of the out-of-resources error in the first one. The word used is "Arbeitsspeicher" which could be translated as "work food".
Admin
"Speicher" means "memory", the word for food is "Speisen" (or "Speiser" for feed)
Admin
No, sir, it cannot. "Speicher" is German for storage.

For public transport it goes like Calvin said 'I find my life lot easier, the lower I keep everyone's expectations.'
Admin
They just kept the amount of RAM (Arbeitsspeicher) low cause they knew trains shouldn't ram

More likely the point that train information displays are an essential part of the modern train-travel experience, ever since the first installations of split-flap displays in the 1950s and 1960s, so they are all over the place in railway systems and (more recently) bus and mass-transit (metro, tram, etc.) systems.
None of that means that we like trains, although when I go to Paris, I'm always amused by the idea of taking a train that's faster than Joe Walsh's Maserati...
