You are inferring that I said they would not be justified when operated at lower frequencies, which is not what I said. I believe they could also be useful if buses operated at every four or five minutes, but not greater than that. If you want to know what textbook that comes from, I can’t answer that, other than it is common sense that if a bus operates say every ten minutes and you are taking away a lane for that bus which results in 5 mph speed for everyone else when it would have been 10 or 15 mph with the extra lane, you would be hurting more people than you are helping even if there are 1.5 people per car and say 30 people per bus.The goal for any change should be to help more than you hurt and not ignore an entire sector of the population with the belief, that it doesn’t matter how slow you make automobile traffic, because those people have no business using a car anyway and should be in the bus to begin with, and that saving bus riders time should be your only goal regardless of the consequences. No one has a right to make that judgment. Not to mention you are also slowing down trucks. |
