The train's almost never on time

I suggest that Metra'a North Central line stop using the term "schedule" or "timetable" and instead use the more accurate phrase, "suggested departure times."

I ride the train every day and the inbound is almost never on time, often not even close.

Today, it was 16 minutes late. Yesterday, 35 minutes and one day last week, the inbound trains were canceled completely.

What did we spend all that tax money on a second rail when it's never used?

Has Metra begun replacing its entire staff with people formerly employed by the airlines industry?
