If you are talking about the UPX, that’s not an LRT line. It’s just a regular train.

But I don’t think it’s a fair comparison based on routes. On the UPX line those are 1 direct stop apart. For comparison taking the subway would also be more indirect and longer, taking about 40 minutes I would guess.

It’s also a poor proxy for what really matters: door to door them.

UPX runs every 15 mins.

If you time it right, great, but if you don’t...

If you don’t plan at all, you’ll have an average wait time of 7 minutes. How bad is that?

Average wait time of 7 minutes if the trains follow the schedule exactly and don't bunch.

If things are allowed to drift randomly, you end up approximating the exponential distribution - which has an average wait time of 15 minutes for 4 trains/hour.
