Buttoned up

Having your act together, being professional, and/or conducting extensive, appropriate, and effective planning. This definition is distinct from another meaning — quiet, non-transparent, secretive, etc.
Unlike in India, the train system in Europe is buttoned up—trains run on time, bathrooms work, conductors check tickets, and accidents are rare.
