15 minute frequencies + mixed traffic and you can still get better results than hourly frequencies + dedicated ROW...take note...

high frequencies are partly the result of high demand rather than the cause

partly, yes! but demand also relates to frequency--higher freq service is more useful product, more demand for it than for low freq

I figure *total* demand is a limit as frequency approaches infinity...but in real world frequency has hard limits at around 90-120 seconds

Exceeding those limits means building parallel lines--for everything else, tho, you can get a feel for where diminishing returns begin...
