Totally. I loved MARC but there were rough patches where the service was legitimately terrible and I would wonder if it was the worst commuter rail service in the country. When its good its good, but when you sit in one place on the track for seemingly no reason for over an hour when you just worked 8 hours, its REALLY bad.

Overall it's great and I look back on it fondly, but as you said sometimes it can be very frustrating.

On days like that I remind myself that at least I can be sitting there reading a book or browsing reddit or whatever instead of stuck in bumper to bumper traffic
