@ajsadauskas@tom_andraszek@TheOne I think it would be great to have a service that is as convenient as driving. I live near a major bus route working 6km of cbd as the bus goes, but can still wait up to 15 mins for a bus.
@Danwwilson@ajsadauskas@TheOne - frequency is freedom, when it is a metro style frequency: every 3 minutes or so, but PT should not run empty most of the time either, so punctuality/reliability is super important in non-metro services: people can plan activities when they know, to the minute, when the bus will come, even if it comes once an hour, but they switch to driving if the bus gets cancelled or is late, more than let’s say once a month?
@tom_andraszek@Danwwilson@ajsadauskas@TheOne there’s a long commuter bus line near me that only comes every 45 minutes, and I’ve heard it has a habit of being like 10-15 minutes EARLY and then leaving early too. Totally misses the point. Makes it completely unusable unless you waste an extra 15 minutes every day accommodating its potential early running.

@tom_andraszek @ajsadauskas @TheOne that’s helpful to understand. 🙂
