If that many people were going in that direction at the time, you would definitely need a lot of buses for that. And I know where I live, it's only one bus per hour. Yeah, that would have to change. Note that those people can come from any number of places, so that could actually be 6 or 7 routes that converged on that one road, but if everyone was taking the bus, there would indeed need to be a bus more often than once every hour. LinkPizza posted... Sometimes, people don't use public transport because of the times. Like they would either get somewhere too early or too late. That's another issue that would be solved with more frequent buses. You're always going to get spikes in ridership for buses that arrive at ~10-15 minutes to the hour, since those are typically ideal for people to arrive and start work on the hour, but if you've got buses running every 10 minutes, those who can be a bit earlier or later have that option. I have also seen routes run two buses at once at particularly busy times (like when school lets out). LinkPizza posted... Then you have the people that need to travel farther. People who commute out of the state to work everyday. Most public transport would probably be for around the city first, Again, that's an issue that would be solved by park and rides. People drive in, park at a terminal, and an express bus carries them directly into another terminal in the city, from which they can catch other buses (or bike or walk to their final destination, ideally, but there aren't going to be that many terminals for express buses). LinkPizza posted... I don't like having to rely on public transport, especially in the state that it's in now. And that's fair. In many places, the current state sucks. There was an article a couple years ago saying that people in my hometown were being turned down for jobs because they would be commuting by bus, because it was just that unreliable. It works in some cities, but for others, it's dismal. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
