1. WTF is the matter with them?

They make us completely dependent on this system by taking away all the buses that go directly to anywhere, then they have all these service disruptions, which they describe very obliquely on their website.

I have an appointment downtown on Tuesday. It should take me 20 minutes to get there from home, or about 10 minutes from my office, but it sounds as if they won't be running trains from the station at my office.

And I suppose they expect the people they have forced on to this system who are going to the airport to 1) add about 40 extra minutes to an already long trip, and 2) to haul all their luggage up and down to the buses between stations. That's assuming that their elevators are working (they often aren't) and that they aren't full of pee or human excrement, both of which I have encountered. I have also been stuck in an elevator at Westlake Center twice.

Worst transit ever.
