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.
