In terms of time usage, both the <a href="/facts/24-hour_clock/25MX89DX">24-hour clock</a> and <a href="/facts/12-hour_clock/v2VEnL0J">12-hour clock</a> are widely used in the country. The 12-hour notation is widely used in daily life, written communication, and is used in spoken language. The 24-hour notation is used in situations where there would be widespread ambiguity. Examples include railway timetables, plane departure and landing timings, and TV schedules.
