It is a weird system. I'm still very frustrated we didn't build something more akin to the REM with fully automated trains. That said, it's not terrible (cuts to frequency aside). It's very reliable at this point, but also excruciatingly slow with long dwell times. Hoping that's not a forever thing.

Not citizens?
Everyone benefits from transit, even those who don't use it. The more people on transit, the fewer cars on the road.
