"the train is never on time and your employees have all these lame excuses why the train is 2-3 hours late! it’s coming from san diego to san louis obispo! also, usually there is a homeless person who flings him or herself on the tracks and then all of us wait, wait, wait for 4 hours until it’s all cleaned up! there are never any beverages or food offered and the a/c is turned off so it’s hot, hot, hot"
