A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Well, you got two kinds of cancellations. Sometimes it's just a single train because of... reasons.. I don't know. Those aren't so bad, you just wait for the next one to leave in half an hour. It happens maybe once a month?
The worse ones are when there's a defect in the rail system, knocking out the entire rail line going home. In those cases you have to travel extra to get to a bus that everyone is desperate to get on. Which causes a lot of shoving and squeezing and very uncomfortable traveling. The alternative is either to get a (ridiculously expensive) taxi or to wait it out for several hours, which is not an option for me. These kind of events only happen a few times as year thankfully, but they're really awful when they happen.
The thing is, I have to pick up my kids from daycare so I need to get back on time. A major cancellation puts me in an enormous stress mode.
