    Where I live, a baseball game should end technically early enough, but

    • there’s never enough trains and it can take a long time to even get into the station, much less on the train
    • the last train pulls into the last station at 1am, which means it passed your station earlier
    • you need all the infrastructure to stay open long enough to get home

    I actually have tickets for an upcoming 7pm game. I expect it to be done by around 11pm, but there’s no commuter train that late. The ballpark is on a tram line which doesn’t go anywhere I need to go, so I need too get to that transfer before it shuts down. In the ideal case it may take 45 minutes to get from the ballpark to a park and ride, but given the amount of time to get on a train, the shut down is uncomfortably close
