I don't know where you're getting your information. Let's look at the actual text of SB50[1], which is fairly clear: it has to be within one-quarter mile radius of a stop on a high-quality bus corridor, which is defined as:
“High-quality bus corridor” means a corridor with fixed route bus service that meets all of the following criteria:
(1) It has average service intervals for each line and in each direction of no more than 10 minutes during the three peak hours between 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., inclusive, and the three peak hours between 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., inclusive, on Monday through Friday.
(2) It has average service intervals for each line and in each direction of no more than 20 minutes during the hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., inclusive, on Monday through Friday.
(3) It has average service intervals for each line and in each direction of no more than 30 minutes during the hours of 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., inclusive, on Saturday and Sunday.
(4) It has met the criteria specified in paragraphs (1) to (3), inclusive, for the five years preceding the date that a development proponent submits an application for approval of a residential development.

- chrismcb 7y agoYou don't know where the op gets his information from... But then you agree? He says he didn't like sb50 because it treats busses as transit. You then basically agree and point out that the density had to be within a certain distance of bus stations... Busses are not the best mass transit
- diebeforei485 7y agoWell, OP talked about empty buses and bus stops that nobody uses, and claimed this bill would result in housing development there. That is misinformation, because the actual bill only applies to strictly defined high-quality bus stops.
