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

Many have the option of a bus or subway. Back in the 1980s when only the IRT had air conditioning, the trains were unbearable in the summer. On those days, I would take local buses home all the way from Downtown Brooklyn to Manhattan Beach where I would get a seat rather than standing all the way home suffocating in a subhuman subway car. It didn't care the trip took 90 minutes instead of 60 minutes because I arrived home refreshed not exhausted. Of course in the morning when I had to get to work on time I wouldn't do that, but I also got a seat in the morning on the train.

And as far as your riding behavior, it will change greatly by the time you reach my age. You can't assume all passengers are going to think like you do. There are days I have no problem walking and there are days when walking one block is torture.
