I took it to work today on my regular commute from GRH > R&T Park which used to take about 35 minutes (and frequently longer on the way home). Total time was 20 minutes door-to-door, but that's mostly because I lucked out and caught a #9 which cuts down the 1km walk from the station. But at least now all the parts of my commute are predictable instead of being at the mercy of car traffic.
The train was busy at 8 AM but still had some available seats. There were issues with the doors closing and re-opening repeatedly at each station. It seemed like a passenger who had boarded and was standing too close to the doors after they closed, would trigger the motion detector to re-open the doors. Not sure how well that will work if/when the cars become more crowded.
