One pet peeve that gets to me is something that's done on a lot of commuter railways and S-Bahns, the 10/20 minute schedule. The schedule looks like:

2:10
2:20
2:40
2:50
3:10

etc, when it should be like this:

2:10
2:25
2:40
2:55
3:10

This minimizes waiting and allows for frequent service every 15 minutes.

What are your pet peeves?

Terrible right of way. Way too many transit agencies place their transit lines not based on where demand is highest or where transit will be most effective, but just where land is cheapest or where the transit agency already owns.

Frequency and on time performance are the two biggest problems with Denver's RTD, right of way is a distant third.
