Our modern transit system has no correlation to the complexity of transit service previously. Enjoy fewer schedules, more delays, and higher costs; pick three.

Our modern transit system has no correlation to the complexity of transit service previously. Enjoy fewer schedules, more delays, and higher costs; pick three. Edit, for the pedantic: There's a huge difference between horizontal complexity (i.e. variety of transit options) and vertical complexity (complexity of a particular option). We have less horizontal complexity than we used to; but vertical complexity of a modern railroad is obscene compared to historical standards. > But if it did, I assume "local-first" entails other traffic just being excluded when an emergency in the local system necessitates it. No dice; as consider just 14 hours ago: https://x.com/SFBARTalert/status/1963772853947355630?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet https://x.com/SFBARTalert/status/1963772853947355630?ref_src... How does a local-first train safely operate if it could go through a police zone? You need communication, by definition, not local-first.
