Let’s have a guess. I’m waiting a train 🚂

Posted schedule says it comes in exactly 12 minutes.

Screens are not working so I don’t know on which platform.

We have an answer… it was either at King’s Cross (aka somewhere I don’t know where) or a no show.

I gave it 10 minutes after the posted schedule and it still didn’t show up.

I guess it’s another bus commute 😩

@EdwinG
You have my sympathy.

So I was telling my husband about the challenges you experienced when there was a strike, and then your most recent posts about public transportation- the screens and so on, and his suggestion is maybe find a different place to catch the train.
I replied, " that might be a solution but the stops aren't exactly as close together as the city bus stop you are accustomed to, it would be a very long walk."

He hasn't visited your city .

@TrueNorthSpice Thank you!!

Train stations are roughly 5km apart in my city.

The LRT really was a game changer in my life. On a piece of paper, it wouldn’t make any sense, but it saves me hours per day.

I think in time, it would go like this for my commute (assuming no disruptions) for the three fastest :
- LRT + car
- Car ($$$$$ parking)
- Train + car

@EdwinG
It saves you 4 hours a day?

@TrueNorthSpice Boy... my maths is off.

Since the LRT's opening, I have saved in the best days (on a weekday):
* 25 minutes in the morning
* 65 minutes in the evening

And those include a car to get to the station.

Weekends are a different beast altogether.

@EdwinG

Ok, that seems reasonable. ..but that is still a lot of time saved.

(long day today?)
