Re: Sign if you agree. RE:bus stop spacings

There is a middle ground between optimizing transit for the physically fittest and optimizing it for the physically least fit. I am just saying the financially insecure physically unfit should be given some consideration too, when bus stop spacing is decided on.

One mile spacing might be the optimal for those riders who can run half a mile in 3 minutes, but you're not suggesting that.

There is also the issue of disproportionate effect. If the stops are slightly too close together, almost everyone is slightly inconvenienced. But if they are too far apart, some people are completely excluded. Therefore maybe the partially disabled are allotted slightly more say per capita than the most physically fit.
