Cool, you didn't even read my comment.
People not actually reading comments is indeed a common and frustrating thing on the internet (HN is better but still has it's share of issues), but in this case I don't think your comment said what you think it said, or you didn't read his comment
We’re making two different points. His argument though makes no sense when evaluating public transit since “I can jump in my car whenever I want” has never been a cogent argument against the efficiency of public transit.
Huh? You said it was a guaranteed 30 minutes. I went to verify that for myself and am pointing out the discrepancy I saw.
So it says that taking the Metra takes an hour and a half?
Whoops, it turns out Google was showing me the L and not the Metra, because the Metra's headways are so far apart today that you'd get there sooner by taking the much-slower L than you would by waiting for the next Metra. But even when I do pick the Metra, it's still showing a 50 minute journey.
Davis to OTC is 30mins so not sure what you’re looking at.
The Metra dumps you somewhere downtown that's nowhere near [pick many addresses downtown], and hence is slower.
