The bus shelter flyer that flipped my view on night trains

I saw a handwritten note taped up at the 5th Ave stop saying the 11:40 pm train runs 15 minutes early on weekends, so I checked the schedule app and sure enough, it's been doing that for 6 months now. That tiny piece of paper saved me from waiting in the cold on Friday, and it made me realize the official updates aren't always the whole story. Anyone else got a hidden local tip that beat the posted times?

the official updates aren't always the whole story" is the understatement of the year, honestly. I once trusted a posted schedule and ended up waiting 45 minutes for a bus that just decided to take a vacation that night. Now I basically treat every train time as a suggestion, like a weather forecast that's usually wrong but occasionally right. My hidden tip is that the 3 am bus on Saturday actually stops two blocks earlier than the map says, so I just walk to the spot where I've seen it pick people up. But hey, maybe that's just my stop being weird, your mileage may vary. At least your flyer was handwritten, mine was just a guy yelling at the driver once and somehow that became the system.
