real talk for a sec: when the trains work, and I can get on one, i have a 30-minute commute. At least twice a week, it takes more than an hour because I have to wait for multiple trains to pass by at 15-minute headways before I can get on one.https://twitter.com/emmagf/status/1100784911991128065 …

i still prefer an hour on a train to an hour in a car, but the fact of the matter is my train commute ~should not be taking an hour~

I think about this a LOT. And also the ways I try to overcompensate for how long it takes me to get to work. So much of my commuting time is spent doing work in between stations, waiting for slack to reconnect. https://twitter.com/_alastair/status/1100787264387510272 …

mental health experts: you should probably be on your phone less. MTA: actually, you should be on your phone more, to compensate for the extra time we take to get you where you're going.

WOW. It was $88/mo when I worked in the city in 2005. And I felt like it ran on time? A lot more reliable than Metro's been here. Train and bus delays making me late are why I now drive to work and pay twice as much as if I took public transportation.

my experience was that metro was reliable, and MTA is not. I know that's not the experience of a lot of other people, but metro from 2004-2011 was always good enough to get me where i needed to be.
