Re: Rush plus on time performance.

In close to 5 years of riding Metrorail, I have never once looked at a timetable. All I care about is that trains come frequently and get me from point A to B quickly and reliably without breaking down. Realtime arrival data seems to solve the problem of having to memorize when trains are supposed to arrive. But I am not a transportation planner, so perhaps there is some crucial value that on-time performance metrics provide which I am overlooking.

That being said, I predict WMATA will just lower its standard for on-time performance and then claim that its goals have been met, as it has done in the past.
