I'll have to find out whether there's something compareable to the disruption map here in Germany. This is a great idea, I love it!

I guess I don't live in the really poor parts that have trains that keep schedules :) “and that in the rest of world, including the really poor parts, it just isn’t.”

As far as I know and also perceive it, Munich's metro is on time for more than 99%, and it's almost always available, of course. And I don't know any such problems from Hamburg or Berlin, either. Deepest sympathy. Huh, that’s rank. As far as I know and also perceive it, Munich’s metro is on time for more than 99%, and it’s almost always available, of course.

I'd rather have a tube train be late by 5 minutes rather than constantly be expected to wait for 15 minutes for a train. oh you don't know how good you have it! ;) J In Ireland the commuter trains only come every 15 minutes to 30 minutes… I’d rather have a tube train be late by 5 minutes rather than constantly be expected to wait for 15 minutes for a train.

I'd rather have a frequently disrupted service that still got you there eventually rather than a service that was limited in scope or service.

Since the shady organization which runs the system seems to have borrowed money from loan sharks, the whole thing is hideously in debt and slowly sliding into obsolescence, getting slower and dirtier, and yet mor expensive, over the last couple years. And just forget about the US's country-wide communter system, Amtrak, that's a disaster. Fundamentally, why is it so difficult for some places to maintain public transportation do you think?
