Train operators in the UK get penalties for running late trains - the result is train companies producing timetables that they are sure they can always meet, even if there is a delay on the journey.
Result: the majority of journeys take longer than they need to. An example of the Rules Achieving the Opposite to that Desired?

I had seen people missing their stops including myself. I would make sure I gave myself plenty of time to get to the exit before my stops.
