How many empty or near-empty buses will you see driving around tomorrow?
- snickerbockers 7y agoI guess it depends on where when and where you ride the bus, but every time I get on a bus in San Francisco its overflowing with people to the point that they have difficulty closing the doors.
- baddox 7y agoThat's because you want to ride on the popular bus routes, which isn't a coincidence. If lots of people wanted to ride on the empty bus routes, they wouldn't be empty—they'd be the overflowing ones!
- Supermancho 7y agoBus routes are continually optimized. Empty buses end up losing routes or frequency, as needed.
- topkai22 7y agoThat depends on the municipality- I’ve definitely lived places where a goal of the transit system was “access” even if the buses were nearly empty on some routes. I’m not sure it’s an invalid goal eithier.
