Isn't fixed rail a huge difference from flexible routing buses? How do transfers save time? By indirectly eliminating stops (two express routes)?

- frankus 8y agoIf you’ve built dedicated busways that portion of the route loses flexibility (presumably in exchange for speed and reliability). Transfers are explained here: http://humantransit.org/2009/04/why-transferring-is-good-for-you-and-good-for-your-city.html http://humantransit.org/2009/04/why-transferring-is-good-for...
- peatmoss 8y agoIn addition to busses being able to operate on less-flexible but faster infrastructure (EDIT: as well as on ordinary streets), express and non-express vehicles can integrate seemlessly at stations, which is a pretty cool benefit.
