IT CAN BE ANYTHING. GO!

If you are new here say hiiiii

Every single day I go on the transit app and it’s not just wrong, it’s not even in the same realm of approximate time.
Walking up to the station 15 minutes early to see the train just leaving. With this schedule it’s now another 25 before the next one.
I tried to catch the train before my normal time and it left 3 minutes early.
What gives?
I’m only a couple stops in on both ends so it shouldn’t be this delayed by then, are the drivers just completely disregarding the schedule now?
I go out of my way to use public transit, making a 15 minute drive downtown a 30 minute commute. It’s now taking me 45-1 hour because of how inconsistent it’s been.

Is this not going to just create issues with rail times like they have with the busses and trams in Toronto…?

I liked that area the way it was, but I do think it could’ve used some revamping. But I don’t think more cars was the way to do it.

This feels like going backwards to me.

Is anyone aware of any proposals from the past, or even any local politicians, urban planners etc who have discussed building out subway systems in directions other than up to Amherst?

In a scenario where you don't have to count nickels and dimes, ideally we'd have subway systems built out every which way, so I'm curious if people know what the conversations about this have been like in the past.
