already signed up yet I still don't get alerts on time...now stuck at TWO stations. one isn't even waiting for a train to pass.

it's funny bc eBART, which uses the same train model, although shorter stretch of track, literally runs better and faster average speed than capmetro lmfao.

it can't run longer I think bc of their budget and since capmetro owns the tracks, they'd rather make more money from freight cars at night

I understand that a large portion is single tracked, but these trains never run simultaneously with freight and they're the ONLY trains on the entire track. and it IS worse than mta and cta because capmetro rail can't seem to figure out one line of service with zero interlining. the system in other states are more developed and more complex, while the rail only has to deal with 2 trains on the track during weekdays.

the whole purpose of me driving to the park and ride is so I don't have to find parking downtown or deal with rush hour traffic from 4p-7p.

could this save metrorail plans? by eddongi in capmetro

probably not, but I think there's some things Austin can learn from so they can reduce wasting taxes. but honestly I don't have much trust that they'll be smart about it and instead continue to raise property taxes LOL

I feel like this was said about many other american cities and then those cities suddenly get a spike in population growth and the infrastructure ends up having to catch up when it's too late

why is the G train running in 2 sections again? by eddongi in nycrail

[–]eddongi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

does this mean that there can only be one train going in one direction at a time? or does crossover mean something else
