Every week I see someone on Nextdoor complaining about Marta being late and it's always the same train set.

It's almost always the Gold or Red line between Lindbergh and Airport during rush hour, and I tracked it for 2 months to see if delays were really that bad or just people exaggerating, anyone else keep a log on this stuff?

I heard Marta's own data showed the Gold and Red lines are late about 30% of the time during peak hours.

A buddy of mine commutes from Sandy Springs every morning and he timed it for a whole week once. He got stuck at the Medical Center station for 12 minutes one Tuesday because they said there was a "signal issue" up ahead. The app showed the next train was 8 minutes away then suddenly jumped to 19 minutes without any warning. He just sits in his car in the parking lot now and waits until he actually sees the train pull in.
