Dear red line, I hate you

My transit, if everything times out well, is usually between 45-60 minutes. I usually try to leave about 75min (1 hr, 15 min) early in case there are some delays in buses or trains, etc.

However, there have been times where the train I'm on literally gets disabled, like today, and my commute literally adds another 1+ hr - today, I was stuck on the disabled train for about 60-70 minutes and then had to wait for a different red line train for another 10ish mintues.

I don't know how to account for that unless I'm always planning on leaving an hour earlier, which I can barely do since I take the train at 6am to arrive around 7am. It's not like the trains are open any earlier than 5am.

I feel a little fucked over here.
