Connecting trains

I am returning from a complicated 2 day trip. It involved five buses, 2 taxis, 1 rental car, 1 plane ride, 1 high speed train under the Channel and 2 local trains. I started yesterday at 5am by train and had the whole trip planned by the minute. From the local transit train from our village to the Eurostar under the sea, then the tube and the bus in London, the Thameslink to Cambridge and the train and taxi there, the internet had absolutely everything right. No single connection was late by a minute. I had predicted that it would take half an hour to fill out the paperwork at building X, I stepped out of the building there was my bus as predicted by Google Maps two weeks earlier. Hopped on a train and arrived on time at the meeting. A friend brought me to the rental car in the morning and guided me to back and despite the left-driving shit I found the airport thanks to the phone, took a plane, and was only 15 minutes late for another meeting, and only because the GPS was confused in the airport, so I went into the wrong direction. Now I'm only 20km away from home, just need to get across the city, and someone has committed suicide (not a pilot, thanks god) and they stopped all trains from the airport so I'm slowly making my way across Paris, at night, in buses. The system has added many special buses for this, so they rarely stop, but still buses. Not a minute across Europe, but far from my plan, at the very end. I wanted to post that the world of traveling is amazing today thanks to GPS and the smartphones and Google maps and all the systems that keep these mind boggling complicated interconnected networks of trains, buses and planes coordinated and the thousands of people that drive them according to the computer-built plans, keep the machines repaired, fulfill their needs. But I hadn't thought about the few people that just had enough of the perfect systems around them.
