      Stops with less ridership than this aren't really viable as train stations--only 14 stations with 10-99 riders, only 1 station below 10.

      But bus stops? A whopping 719 of them fall in the 10-99 range. Only 119 of those stops are above 50.

      How about 1-9? A staggering 744 bus stops end up here. Stops in this range *average* at least one rider a day, but may have empty days too.

      Rounding out the list, there are 318 bus stops with average daily ridership of *zero*

      All told: 1927 bus stops - 0.7% above 1000 daily riders - 7% with 100-999 - 37% with 10-99 - 39% with 1-9 - 17% with 0

      Transit agencies need to pay more attention to bus stop consolidation. Lots of opportunity to reduce travel time and maintenance costs.

      56% of stops have fewer than 9 boardings a day!!! Can be difficult politically, but good justification (w/buy-in) and process can work.

      One funny thing though when we did this in Durham: some will call for just eliminating the zero boarding stops.

      Good idea if those stops force a deviation or have infra to maintain, but eliminating them does nothing to travel time or reliability!

      Those 1-9 boarding stops are the sweet spot. Even combining half of them (total reduction of 25%) can go a long way.

      Yes, we're in the middle of a stop consolidation effort here in Western MA as well--but pushback is increasing as more people learn abt it.

          Very frustrating; lots of people upset due to fear their stop will be cut, even tho when I ask them their stop, it's one of the retained

          It's tricky. We had a good case (vexing route reliability issue), good buy-in at top, and lots of outreach. Worked well, but time consuming.

          Yeah--the main area of concern is how this will effect elderly riders, as long as they're in favor it'll eventually go through

          But no matter what, it's definitely a time-consuming process! I did my first work on it late in 2013...
