Yeah, the MAX Purple has had some big issues in the early going. Some of it is due to the signals at 19th, 26th and 28th Streets not operating properly and giving the buses priority. The schedule/bus deployment also needs to be fixed to align with reality on the ground. You should see those fixes coming soon. Engineers are on the signal issue apparently. The concept should be able to shine soon with some of these fixes.
The smart card thing was a huge disaster and disappointment. Frustrating. Apparently the goal is mobile ticketing/payment. We shall see.
