I have ridden the first generation bullet, and the newer split-level ‘Max’ (not shown) in Japan. You can step up to the mark on the platform and set your watch by the arrival and doors opening… always within 30 seconds of schedule. If the train is more than two minutes late, they refund your ticket price! Japan knows how to do high speed rail transport to perfection.
