Taking the values from the press release:
– trip takes 90 seconds
– waiting time at station 44 seconds
This means that if you just miss the train, the trip takes 6 min. Add 1 min to get up/down to the stations.
The walking time in the press release has been estimated to be 9 min. However, the length of the C section is about 500 m, and walking that distance at a good pace of 6 km/h takes just 5 mins, and using the moving walkways cuts this further down.
Therefore, if you are in a real hurry, don't waste time on the train.
