Cars block cars every 90 seconds all over the city, its called traffic lights.
If running a train every 3 minutes is justified then that means there's a helluvalot of people on those trains (if there weren't, then there'd be no reason to run them so often). How is it that its okay for a few cars carrying 1.3 people each to block other cars every 90 seconds, but if a single train with 60 to 120 people in it blocks some cars it's a disruption? The self-entitled mindset of car drivers really needs to change...
