Not only this, the transportation network is intermodal-synchronized. Meaning that e.g. most buses will come to train stations at times that are convenient to take a train to somewhere, without much waiting. This is achieved by constant numerical simulations and optimizations of real transport patterns.
- archerx 4y agoHas anybody told this to Morges? I would routinely get off the train in Bussigny just to watch the bus leave the bus stop as everyone is arriving. We would collectively let out a sigh of disgust. I've seen many people confront the following bus drivers about this problem, I know the drivers are not in control but some people just vent their frustrations on them anyway. I even saw a mass walk out of an MBC bus because they were so disgusted with the service. At least the TL (Transport Lausanne) isn't garbage like MBC.
- jokteur 4y agoOnce per year, you are allowed to complain on https://www.projet-horaire.ch/fr/prise-de-position.html https://www.projet-horaire.ch/fr/prise-de-position.html. However, the delay for next years timetable has already passed. I did this once for a bus to a village which didn't wait on the train and they made corrections for the next scheduling. So I guess it works ?
- archerx 4y agoThat's pretty cool, thanks for the info!
- atemerev 4y agoThe problem with this is that if buses come rarely enough, you can optimize either for bus-train or for train-bus transition, and you could get in the unlucky part :(
- snovv_crash 4y agoMBC was consistently rushing, late and occasionally just never arrived (particularly the 701). I think this is a localized issue though, I don't see this anywhere else.
