traffic, bloody traffic

I'm struggling with the train system in Toronto. Tokyo's transit looks better all the time by comparison.
I'm very grateful that there's a train system at all. That's certainly not a given in North America. But tonight for instance it took me two hours to get home from downtown. There just aren't enough trains! And the swipe-card system that allows you to pay is barely functional: yesterday I missed two trains while the staff tried (and failed) to puzzle out what was wrong with my card. Again this morning I had to check in at Union Station to reverse an overpayment.
