alt Hacker NewsI love an eink project as much as the next person but the trains look like they’re so frequent that if you’re really after “calm” maybe you could just forget about the train times completely, walk when you’re ready and know there will be one along in no time…?
This comes from someone in the middle of the country where there’s no train (nearest an hour drive away) and the buses are twice daily. So, yeh, I’m a little bitter :-)

It's so frustrating to be walking into the train station, hear the train pulling in, rush to board and miss it by five seconds. Especially when you could have walked just a hair faster, or not stopped to look at that thing in the window for ten seconds.
They’re probably not that frequent at all times, and in any case no point standing around a train station for ten minutes.
My nearby buses and trains are normally something like one every ten minutes, but I check times before leaving the house (albeit not on an eink thing).
