Regardless of the fingers pointed at whom/what, from an experience perspective it’s crazy the transit authorities expect people to just deal with maintenance and closures for weeks-months at a time. Subway/metro transit is my preferred choice over driving in the city, and often the best-cost method for traveling longer distances within/around the city, however from a convenience and comfort level it’s one of the least enjoyable. When schedules change it’s always a massive annoyance, or the re-routing makes the trip take forever, or steps of the journey change like having to switch from train to bus to another train. All of these compound over time and just add more drain and exhaustion from traveling on top of whatever the normal day had. Think of how much people driving would hate commuting to work from the suburbs if the highway authority closed a whole side of the interstate for 2 months straight and the only way home was through 25mph single-lane side streets for a 20mile journey.
