It is planning that was done to prepare for when BART service reaches Santa Clara county, and how the bus network will need to be reorganized. In the documents, you can see how they looked at different plans, covering different levels of geography vs. population.
- honorious 8y agoThanks! The design tradeoff between ridership and coverage is very interesting, and ripe for political discussion. I wonder if there are opportunities for working with on-demand ride companies for coverage, while focusing infrastructure on high-ridership corridors. Fairness of access for disadvantaged people would be a problem to solve.
- ebikelaw 8y agoBut why would you look at VTA when it's one of the worst-performing systems in the nation? Their ridership is in freefall.
