Answer:
If each town were to keep the time of its own meridian, there would be much difference in local time between one town and the other.
Travelers going from one end of the country to the other would have to keep changing their watches if they wanted to keep their appointments. This is impractical and very inconvenient.
To avoid all these difficulties, a system of standard time is observed by all countries.
Most countries adopt their standard time from the central meridian of their countries.
