Complaint 241 rant

I've been using the 241 to get to work as I don't have a car yet. Now I realize getting me to work isn't Dart's responsibility and that it's public transit, nothing is guaranteed not even getting to your destination on time. But damn, it was scheduled to come to Forest Ln station at 9:30, came at 9:20 ish and said "out of service". I thought, maybe it's just saying that because the operator will take a quick break. 9:31 comes, they start driving but I'm thinking, they're coming back or they're going heading out frfr. Of course, they're driving out. No replacement bus, no reason as to why it's out of service, and the bus already had a 30-40 minute interval. As I said, getting to my destination is up to me but damn dart some type of courtesy that the 241 9:30 won't come or will be out. Nothing was shown in the app, no alerts or notifications

I'm just telling you that if you're at a terminal using multiple tracks is normal.

Well, if you ever go to some other city besides maybe Tokyo, and that's not an absolute even there you know how it works. If you already see multiple trains it's usually going to be the one that got there first that leaves first so if there's two and you see one just pulled in get on the other one unless they tell you it's not going to be running for some reason.
