    But you can’t make that schedule. If you’re running late in a car, there’s nothing wrong. Be late for a train and it’s like being late for a plane. Imagine that every morning trying to get to work.

      I spent a few years getting a school bus that only came once a day, I just got to the bus stop on time and it was fine. In most places your urban transport runs at headways of less than 15 minutes, and even down to 90 seconds, missing that isn’t a huge issue.

        I had to wake up 2 hours earlier than the kids that got driven in by their parents to make the bus, then I was home later than everyone too. Fun.
