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

I never made a blanket statement that bus riders don't care about time. Of course they do. Under the circumstances you describe why should someone take the local instead of the Limited if he is making a long trip if both buses have seats available?

What I said is that time is less important for bus passengers than subway passengers assuming someone has a choice between the bus and train. A bus passenger will be more concerned with his comfort like the ability to get a seat than a subway passenger would be willing to sacrifice t0 or 15 minutes for a seat. They also will would rather spend 10 extra minutes on the bus if it saves them walking stairs which would be difficult for them either because they have difficulty walking or have a baby carriage or are carrying bulky items.
