Agreed. At this time of day, it can be busy.
However, the scholars services were all on time and got through the traffic ok.
Getting away from the school thing for a moment, the bunching/lateness happens beyond rush hour too.
Maybe the slow driver of that 78 you saw the other day, has transferred to Washington and was on the 4 running circa 20 mins late? :p
