    My point is this: some cities may not post exact timetables because of reasons. I know one line just has a PDF and you gotta hope those times are right. (Long Island)

    My local line you just know to be there before the "arrival time" by 30 minutes because otherwise you are not getting on that train.

    The NY subway, is not going to arrive or depart at the exact times it says, even the online updates aren't accurate. They tell you its like 75% accurate, but they aren't necessarily published up to the time online.

    On that line that you posted, my friend actually uses it to get to work sometimes, those times aren't exactly accurate, they are close as it uses GPS and that's the "arrival" time, but you arrive early and expect to wait because there's usually a little delay.

    In the US, most folks expect it to be a close timetable, but not exact. Some places are also able to dedicate more time and resources for accuracy, but some will publish a slightly delayed timetable unless you have a ticket and login where you can be directed to your exact train.

    You just learn after your first missed bus or train what the general timeline really is.

    My point wasn't about the individual lines, but why some current timetables may not be added to a game.

    Let's think for a moment: Why wouldn't they add a current, static timetable to a game where you can run through a train route for some cities over and over again?

    That is what my original thought was. I also stated I was possibly wrong, and I may be overthinking in that exact post.
