[il-talk] Fw: transit survey

[Bill Reif]

I suggest that before taking the survey, those with internet access try 
visiting www.metrarail.com, going to the schedules ling, and trying to 
access a schedule, particularly a weekday schedule where trains don't stop 
at all stops.  If you can't see the screen or the printout, you won't have 
any idea what trains stop where.  I am a good screenreader user, but 
couldn't make heads or tails of it.  If they had used a structured table, I 
could enter tables mode and navigate along a row/column to match times and 
cities.  Tables mode is great when people properly construct tables.

Bill
