When the east extension opens they'll have to rework the schedule and frequencies, and I hope the dwell times get shortened as a result.

One thing I have noticed as a semi casual transit user is that the train as compared to the bus has a lot more people not queuing up at the door to exit the train. Like.. its been a little bit.. 12 people have disembarked and now the line of people wishes to enter and you now want to stand up and head to the door? This happens enough that it isn't somebody who is disoriented by the system.
