Buses, ok...c-trains what's the point?

If a bus is late, sometimes people can wait in their house/office a bit longer, or make other arrangements (take different route etc), given the infrequency of a particular route, and sometimes, like today, buses can't go up certain hills with crappy roads so have to take detours you'd have no idea about.

But for a Ctrain? They run on rails every 10-20 minutes all day long. If there are major delays or closures, there's annoucements made on the platforms.

Never understood those people who make a point to go to the edge of the platform and lean over to look down the tracks to see if a train is coming twice a minute, as if they're going to spot the train making a left turn somewhere and missing the stop. (I have seen buses do that) or make a decision to take some other form of transport because the train isn't fast enough for you.

It gets there when it gets there. If you're standing on the Ctrain platform, you don't really have an option other than to wait like everyone else.
