These are the kind of little things that make me not want to use public transportation if I can help it.

This was common for me in Philly. I'd pay to get onto the station platform then spend 30 minutes waiting for a train that is supposed to come every 10. Then upon realizing it would never come I'd end up with the double penalty of not getting a refund from SEPTA as well as having to pay for an Uber. Only to the get chewed out by my boss at comcast for walking in at 9:45.

Meanwhile all the people coming from the suburbs with an hour long delay would get a pass just because they don't live in the city.
