Reducing transfers and walking distances is what makes transit more convenient and encourages bus riding. You won't see ridership increasing with reduced coverage faster buses.People do not want to walk for 10 or 15 minutes to get to a bus route, wait 5 or 10 minutes for the bus, ride ten minutes on the bus, and walk another 10 or 15 minutes to get to their destination. That's a 35 to 50 minute trip with only 10 minutes on the bus. They will take a cab or Uber instead. They would prefer to walk 5 minutes to the bus, take two buses for 10 minutes each and wait 5 minutes for each bus for a 40 minute trip where half the trip is spent on the bus. |
