Unfortunately BT’s systems are a hodge podge of different systems written and built over the last 40+ years, in various states of development from brand new, bleeding edge, to abandoned, running on an excel spreadsheet. To say the overall system was “designed” is to misunderstand the size and complexity of BT and its legacy systems. The fact that it works at all is a miracle borne out of the sweat and talent of great engineers hampered by busybody managers.

When I do commute to work, I unfortunately take a bus after my train, so I’m affected by the traffic. I avoided commuting in December because the traffic was so bad it more than doubled my commute time from 1.5 hours to well over 3 hours. Thankfully I can work from home, but I do like working in the office with my team when I can.

I’ve had so many conversations with coworkers about not having a car, and most of them just don’t get that yes public transport is slow, but it’s only as slow as it is because everyone has a car. If more of those who are able to use public transport did, traffic would be so much less for everyone and public transport would be a fast option.
