1. When it's good, it's very very good, and when it's bad, it's horrid
Where do you live?

In Tokyo, the trains run every 3 minutes during rush hour and every 8-10 minutes the rest of the day.

In Portland, the buses on most main routes run every 15 minutes, 7 days a week, more often during rush hour.

The Twin Cities, on the other hand, think they're such a hot system because they run every 15 minutes during rush hour. :eyes:

3. St. John's, Newfoundland.
The route that was late runs every half hour. I was at the bus stop 10 minutes early.

7. Was an hour late this week. Some lady got run over by a train.
I'm sure she wasn't thrilled by public transportation either.
