Karn does not trust a timetable he has not ridden. His background is in logistics, and he still treats a route like a system to be measured rather than a story to be told: real departure times, real fares, transfer windows counted on the ground instead of copied from a booking page. He has spent enough mornings on the wrong pier to know that the published schedule and the boat that actually leaves are two different things, and his articles exist to close that gap. Expect numbers, not adjectives. When an operator promises ninety minutes, he brings a stopwatch. Away from the routes he is a road cyclist and a Formula 1 fan who enjoys reading pit-stop splits for fun, which tells you most of what you need to know about how his mind works.
