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.

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...
