Yes, because SBS isn't considered local.I've excluded only express buses. Included are SBS, Limited and Local buses. Somehow I just can't believe that 95 percent will be within .3 miles. That sounds like some gross miscalculation. I've included stops where at least one trip per day. I've chose yesterday as a typical weekday, from the latest GTFS schedules. I know the percentages shift, when I selected either Saturday or Sunday. I do have the ability to select stops by hour of day. I have not tried that yet. And if you agree that all bus stops are not equal, why even such an emphasis on the closest bus stop? I have a list of bus stops and a list of census blocks, both with geographical location. It's a question of matching the appropriate stop with each census block. It seems more reasonable that a person would choose the closest stop, rather than one that's 5 miles distant. Somehow I just can't believe that 95 percent will be within .3 miles. That sounds like some gross miscalculation. I doubt that us the case now with the number of transit deserts. If what you say is true, ther would be no talk of transit deserts. Service frequency should play a role in defining a transit desert. |
