It still takes forever, BUT with the new cell phone notification and you can see how many people are in front of you, you can now take off and continue your day.
Basically I stood in line for to get my number in the system (aka information desk) I'd say 15 mins? And left. Came back before they closed at 5pm because they do not let no one in past that time, and only took 30 min wait. Perfect. The dmv is no longer a nightmare. Was out ready for dinner!
