they should redesign the whole lines so that they have to most coverage. so that people on average are around 500m walk from the nearest bus stop, and also making sure stop aren't too close so busses don't make too many stops.
- closeparen 8y agoMost US bus systems have a strong bias towards coverage and are learning that utilization gets better if they instead discard coverage in favor of frequency. Having a bus stop nearby isn’t worthwhile if it comes once an hour. Those people will drive anyway. Better to provide an actually compelling alternative to a subset of the city than a worthless alternative to all of it.
