Seems the downward trend is being driven by off-peak ridership nearly everywhere. Electeds who claim to be worried about this need to get busy funding weekend service at decent frequencies, unlike today.https://twitter.com/TransitCenter/status/955499555092615168 …

Yes. Convenient bogeyman. In the same way that TNCs play that role in the "OMG congestion!" debate. They're not helpful, per se, but they're also not the core problem.

"you can't expect us to do anything, this is a technology shift" vs "ok, maybe the long waits, crummy facilities, and slow travel times ARE a problem"

Unfortunately I'm not sure how many are even capable of conceiving of transit as something that's nice to use--which makes it very hard for them to make it so
-
In Pioneer Valley? Probably none. But Pioneer Valley doesn't really have public transit. It's like Providence or New Haven.

...Providence doesn't have public transit? what do u mean here

Alon's standards are quite European.

what's the frequency tipping point for you two? I usually say 3/hr is the bare minimum for usefulness, 4/hr is when it starts to feel convenient
-
I will tolerate 2/hr for a direct trip. Agreed with you on 3/4 per hour; 6 per hour is good service.
-
yes--6/hr is the baseline daily frequency at my former station in Tokyo, Tsurukawa (it's a local-only stop; express trains all skip it so the actual baseline daily frequency on the Odakyu Line is higher)
