Cool, you didn't even read my comment.
- josephcsible 1y agoHuh? You said it was a guaranteed 30 minutes. I went to verify that for myself and am pointing out the discrepancy I saw.
- halfmatthalfcat 1y agoSo it says that taking the Metra takes an hour and a half?
- simonsarris 1y agoThe Metra dumps you somewhere downtown that's nowhere near [pick many addresses downtown], and hence is slower.
- josephcsible 1y agoWhoops, it turns out Google was showing me the L and not the Metra, because the Metra's headways are so far apart today that you'd get there sooner by taking the much-slower L than you would by waiting for the next Metra. But even when I do pick the Metra, it's still showing a 50 minute journey.

- freedomben 1y agoPeople not actually reading comments is indeed a common and frustrating thing on the internet (HN is better but still has it's share of issues), but in this case I don't think your comment said what you think it said, or you didn't read his comment
