>the next train is scheduled in half an hour?

Fire your transit leadership. Trains should be running every 5 minutes all day every day (and also have a backup option for night service while you do track maintenance). Incompetent leadership isn't doing that.

For a bus you are sometimes forced to do cost/benefit and run as little as every half hour, but if you have trains that means you have enough demand to run every 5 minutes (if you don't that means you shouldn't have a train at all - a bus is cheaper).

It isn't just doctors that sometimes have an emergency. People have places to be, trying to figure out when the transit system is coming shouldn't be a problem.
