5 minutes of having a mid-summer sun beating down on you, after you've possibly walked for up to 15 minutes to even get to the stop, can feel like a lot. Especially if you don't know with any confidence that the next bus is coming in 5 minutes.
- bluGill 7y agoIf you are not confident that the next bus will be there in less than 5 minutes, then my criteria are not met. It costs about $500,000 to run a bus for a year (every day, 16 hours a day). If you have that extra half a million in the budget you should run another bus someplace (preferably getting some existing route to the under 5 minutes headway). If you don't have that much in the budget but have something spending money on shelters isn't a bad use of money but it is way down on the list of what riders really want.
