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 …

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)
