In my city, they haven't changed the bus routes in several decades.
- woodruffw 4y agoRight, that was the point about bad service: trolleys and buses can have stable routes but, paradoxically, that stability is generally good for trolleys and not good for buses.
- secabeen 4y agoStability is good, but only to a point. A bus can divert around double-parked car, or a closed road, but a trolley is stuck until the blockage is cleared.
- woodruffw 4y agoThis is absolutely true, and is why both European cities (and slowly, American cities) have taken pains to minimize interconnections between trolley and automotive traffic.
