The biggest mistake the planners are making is that they are planning from an ivory tower just looking at the data which is incomplete, making certain assumptions that may not be accurate and doesn’t tell the entire story.Looking at just paid riders tells you nothing about those evading the fare. Looking at existing riders only tells you nothing about those waiting for a bus and leave the stop using other means when no bus arrives or those the bus bypasses because it is too crowded. Asking people to transfer more tells you nothing about their willingness to do do so. Why does this effort not include speaking with the bus drivers to get their opinions? Also the planners don’t ride the buses themselves so they don’t know what it feels like to be in a crush loaded bus or to be bypassed by a bus that doesn’t stop when it is cold or raining. The new school of transportation planning is arrogant, believing they have all the answers. There is plenty to learn from the old school. |
