Sorry I'm late.

It took forever to get downtown today.

The construction on Main Street is causing massive delays.

Seriously?

That sounds frustrating.

Why don't you try the new express train?

It bypasses the construction zone entirely and could save you some time.

The biggest issue is getting to the train station.

It's a good 25 minute walk from my house, and I'm not keen on doing that in this weather.

That's why I stick with driving most of the time.

Have you heard?

There's a new park and ride service that started last week.

It has a pickup point closer to your area and drops off directly at the express train station.
