I get what you're saying. But there are cities where you don't need to worry about a timetable, there's just a constant stream of trains coming through. I'm thinking of Tokyo, Shanghai, or Vienna for example. The rate of trains coming in in these cities is such that I rarely have to worry about a timetable. I just need to know which trains connect where. The problem is the cities in between, which is probably the majority, where public transit is not used enough to warrant such high number of trains. If the public transit system was used more, you could schedule more trains, if you had more trains it would be used more. It's kind of a chicken and egg situation where you need a lot of political will, or such density that it becomes necessity, to push for this.
