We use the 12-hour clock in conversation. But travel timetables, for
example, or anything else where there could be ambiguities, would always be
in 24-hour.

In the Hourly Report as well, for example? Like

Dec/11/00  4pm- 5pm: 123: ++++
Dec/11/00  5pm- 6pm: 456: ++++++++++++

instead of

Dec/11/00 16:00-17:00: 123: ++++
Dec/11/00 17:00-18:00: 456: ++++++++++++

?
