Re: (rshsdepot) Cali Rail Riders' Dirty Little Secret

["Jim Guthrie" <jguthrie_@_pipeline.com>]

Lots of people leave for work at 4 am in in L.A., but it was my experience
living there that most of them got off at 2 or 3 pm when the "home office"
shut down in the east.

And then there are the folk who work "home office" time in Hong Kong or
Singapore. Ugh.

But this all makes for some unusual traffic patterns and has implications in
rail scheduling and usage.

Cheers,
Jim
