      ...which is to say, there's nothing fundamental about a bus which prevents a bus operator from rearranging routes based on fine-grained data

      The reason bus operators don't do that (and Lyft is unlikely to do that) is that ridership patterns are much more stable than laymen think

      "Fine-grained data" is typically noise, not signal, and you'll bankrupt yourself trying to match every tiny fluctuation

      As for the peak/off-peak difference in ridership, Lyft isn't planning to operate outside rush hours *at all*

      Lyft's "Shuttle" isn't a general, all-purpose transportation service like MUNI or even Uber; it's only serving a particular kind of trip

      Which is to say: it's not even adequate for serving the demand postulated in the first screencap. People who want a better bus still waiting

      First bit is infuriating: troublesome riders SHOULD be booted from the service, they are a major factor in turning people away from buses!pic.twitter.com/KKEHgXhVz1

      I frequently see people nodding off on heroin, making drug deals, drinking booze and then leaving the bottles as litter--kick them OFF!

      Do you think most riders ENJOY dealing with belligerent or intoxicated riders? We hate it and wish you'd do something about it!

      Is there an effective way to do so? We can't seem to deal with drunkards and homeless on buses in my city, and people stop using them :/

      Yes, the driver has to be allowed to kick them out (or, if they recognize the culprit, deny their boarding)

          They are allowed, but it's hard to do so with all-door boarding and a tight schedule to keep to.

          Yes, but checks are fairly rare and ticket controllers don't want to make a scene (passengers do enjoy filming incidents and posting online)

          Ya...there's your problem. Ticket controllers have to be willing to make a scene, and check more often--they, not the drivers, must enforce

          Yes, I guess so.. But apparently people don't even want to work as ticket controllers anymore. With more effort we probably could solve it

          Ah, but the homeless don't have any money to pay the fines, so they just ride anyways. They cannot be fined, nor jailed.

          But they ARE banned. They just don't care :/ When they are thrown out, they just take the next bus :(
