If only one bust ever ran or there was a continuious stream of buses, it would still take the one I am riding on the same amount of time. The people waiting at the stop would have options, but once they got on the bus, it wouldn't matter when or if the next bus comes.<br /><br />Unless changing from 20 min to 30 min changes the relationship between time and space, I still don't understand the issue.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1476825681109011814.post-86340422640150943612016-05-14T06:27:21.698-04:002016-05-14T06:27:21.698-04:00On a 20 minute schedule there are more buses runni...On a 20 minute schedule there are more buses running. A bus has 40 minutes to complete a 37 minute run as two buses are running it, with one only halfway through when the other begins.

By this logic should they be increasing to 40 min service and then no one will be late. <br /><br />How does changing the frequency of buses to a stop affect how long it takes to get from point A to point B? <br /><br />I know I'm not an expert in Transit planning, but I just can't wrap my head around how the length of time it takes to drive between two points has changed?<br /><br />I understand the transfers will be affected, but I would assume that the planning software can do 20 min schedules, 21 min, 22 min, etc, and line everything up?

This is the result when people who don't use transit, try to run it. Disgusting.JSnoreply@blogger.com
