The lack of timed transfers in my area.
There have been so many times when I get off the train to transfer to the bus (that is at the starting point in its route) and the bus pulls away. It's almost as if the bus is perfectly timed to leave so it's just out of reach.
It's really excruciating. If they delayed the bus leaving even by two minutes, that would allow people to get off the train and transfer to the bus
You would like Switzerland. The entire country's transport network is integrated and designed around timed transfers. Even deep into the countryside, where buses run once an hour or less, they are all designed to connect to trains with neat timed transfers. This is why this trip that I cooked up between two random places in Switzerland has no more than 10 minutes wait spent per transfer.
incredible!
