The three of us who commute together on the same rail line have developed this unspoken agreement to just complain about delays and cancellations rather than seriously exploring alternatives, and I think it's because we all value this shared commute time but don't want to admit that staying loyal to this route might not make practical sense anymore. We've become invested in the problem instead of solving it.
More people experience this than they realize.
You and your commute buddies just complain about the train instead of finding a better way.
