Chris Smith asks

How Do We Get an Antifragile Transit System?
A good start might be to get a management that actually knows how to run a transit system rather than build a transit system.

Good comment at P-transport:

Well, as a first step let's focus on making the system resilient, shall we? The entire electrical system should have backup systems or generators at the very least. It's crazy that one problem would bring the whole thing down.

As far as anti-fragile, that would have to involve a system in place so that if MAX shuts down they instantly double the frequency of the entire bus system, rather than just running shuttles. We have a good enough bus grid system that the goal should be to shift people to that rather than continuing their max routes via shuttles.
