Lol you should add a requirement to ride (and pic) every class (and subclass) of equipment used in the IRT, not too much a big deal except on the (4).

I've observed that the system has a lot of glitches, going from 2 minutes to 22 minutes at the blink of an eye. But it's still useful, to some extent. The correct times outnumber the incorrect ones.
