I'm familiar with the Boston T, and I've known the Red Line to skip stops, but it's rare.
I kinda assumed that most people could figure out the express/local concept through common sense and through experience with their own commuter rail system. Express trains and buses get to their destinations faster because they don't make every intermediate stop, whereas locals do. Then again, not everyone takes a commuter rail to work.
I really do wish I could have pointed them in the right direction, but I was firmly wedged in place.
Maybe I was just having a "whaddya mean, the rest of the world isn't like NYC?" moment
