Well, yes, primarily. He is an employee of the agency of course. And now with the latest technology the agency can very easily track intentional violations of the schedule.I'm patient with so much regarding getting around, even missed runs! But running early is just wrong. Even the 1 minute buffer is questionable to me. I can understand that running early can be helpful in certain circumstances. For example railroads will often not mind running early when moving away from the city. I believe LIRR had a clause that it may leave 3 minutes early from outer stations when moving away from the city. That's fine, as long as they publicize that. OTOH, Metro North waits an extra minute at Grand Central before departure. That's much more passenger-friendly, though not necessary. |
