I'd like to contrast with the rail system in most of Asia (or at least Seoul and Hong Kong). Government run, and always on time. The worst thing is how it can be packed full, but that's just uncomfortable

Hong Kong's MTR is a private, publicly-traded corporation. So are Japan's major rail operators. Korea's long-distance rail operator is government-owned, but not government-run (it's structured as a government-owned for-profit corporation). Singapore's rail system is operated by two for-profit corporations (on tracks built by a government board).

Huh? The Hong Kong system is run by MTR Corporation. The Seoul subway is run by Korail and Seoul Metro corporations.
