      It's definitely harder to consistently communicate the status of a fundamentally inconsistent service...remember that "real time" transit trackers are a PATCH to compensate for the train (or bus) never reliably keeping on schedulehttps://twitter.com/Dustin_Hinkley/status/1034432153839443968 …

      The MBTA is honestly such a mess. I got to Grafton station this morning and saw my train would be 20 minutes late, then a few minutes later it was cancelled, and a few minutes after that it just showed up without warning. Is consistent communication really so difficult?

      They are a solution to a problem that shouldn't exist--it's exactly like the crash safety mentality on American trains, which focuses on being heavy enough to survive crashes because it doesn't do enough to prevent them

      Likewise, having written off perfect schedule adherence as simply impossible--which I might grant for buses, but is pathetic on railways--transit providers turn to GPS to figure out where their vehicles are

      The trackers aren't even all that good for buses, either, because the travel speed of the bus is so variable.

      exactly--it's maddening to check and see "oh, but will get to the stop in 10 minutes...I have time to get there" only to arrive and find the bus made up some time and you've already missed it
