Can you please back up the claim that doubling every bus and tram does not present special difficulty? I would genuinely love to read an actual analysis of 'just doubling the frequency', does not even have to be San Francisco per se.
- rahimnathwani 5y agoI didn't say every bus. I didn't mention trams. I wasn't making a general case that's applicable to every city. I was talking about specifically about SF, which has relatively uncongested roads, bus lanes that are mostly empty, and where the busiest bus stops receive buses no more than ~10 times per hour.
- bosie 5y agoYou said this: > Running that bus every 5 mins (which presents no special difficulty) would double the capacity, and reduce average wait time by 5 mins. the problem with public transportation among other things are connections. running specific buses with a higher frequency does not give you a lower wait time (on the journey) but only on that stop. > I didn't say every bus. > I didn't mention trams. ok i don't get it. why did you bring this up at all then?
