If you need to be at work at 08:00 and your train is regularly late or getting cancelled, you can't take the train to work. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Fiery@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago (1 child) Not to mention even a small delay could mess up the timing of taking the next bus/train. For not too busy routes it could mean waiting in the cold for half an hour.... If that next bus has a good delay you could be there for almost an hour.

On the weekdays it took about 40 minutes, but on weekends with the cumulative effect of less frequent service it was typically 2 hours, or longer depending on how quickly the first train came. permalink fedilink source parent
