How hard is it for subway transfers to be in sync? Is seeing your transfer train pull away right as you get there symptomatic of a really complex timing problem or just a failing of rail systems?

If you try to maintain sync, one delay on one train makes the whole system late to maintain the sync. This reduces throughput, relative to random sync, so it’s not often used in big systems. Random sync means that your connection takes 0 sec some of the time and the train leaves before your doors open some of the time.
