America is so anti-rail that buses often substitute for rail rapid transit and streetcars. A lot of buses conversely are also direct descendants of streetcars and make the same amount of frequent stops as the streetcars, the only problem is that those streetcars operated before automobiles clogged up our roads and didn't have to merge into traffic. A modern "local" bus should stop around every quarter mile while a "rapid" bus stops around every mile with those stops being at bus bulbs that don't require the bus to merge into traffic, and with the advent of smart phones and mobile payment, you should be able to board and exit using all doors on the bus by installing fare scanners at the rear door of all buses. |
