Next time please include the headline in post
Chennai Metro to Run Trains Every 5 Minutes
Cheers.
Oh, my bad – I thought the headline showed up in the post too!
There’s usually a “body” field where you can include your own comments!
I’m on the web interface so I do actually see the headline in the body (plus the beginning of the article itself), but I think maybe it doesn’t show up on other clients?
Indeed
No worries. Depends the client.
In my city, the last trolley went through in 1936. Still waiting for the next one.
I wish we had 5 minute headways haha.
I live in Mumbai – while the commuter trains have lots of room for improvement, they do run at ~3 minute headway for most of the day, and that’s on tracks shared with the national rail network. I’d expect a metro system with its own dedicated tracks to be able to do even better, at least at peak hours.
Just to be clear, I’m not complaining – 5 minutes is pretty great, and the Mumbai Metro system (separate from the commuter trains) is also worse at about ~6 minutes – but even so, I was hoping this system might be able to achieve times like the Paris or Moscow Metro
Yesterday I waited ~20m for the TTC, then went and got Tim’s, walked back to the TTC, and caught it as it finally arrived.
Original ETA was like 5m
I saw a joke where someone in Germany said they arrived too late for the 7:30am train, but were just in time for the 6:30am train. It’s like a meme how late they are.
Where I live it’s like 15 to 20 minutes and the trains are so jam packed with people that it is literally difficult to breathe. I’m not exaggerating.
