A network which relies on people to have no other options before they're likely to use it is not a very good network! What are their frequencies, what are their travel times.... https://twitter.com/urbanophile/status/959464896160256000 …

I will concede that it's difficult to get headways above 4/hr using buses in mixed traffic--variation in travel times ends up with bunching etc...the solution is to dedicate the ROW, either w bus lanes or by building rail, but if you avoid exceeding 4/hr even in dedicated ROW...

The push for frequent networks is important! Passengers hate waiting, and frequent service makes many more trips and combinations of trips easy--but BECAUSE it's important, we can't just pat ourselves on the back for achieving minimum qualifications! 4 per hour? MORE per hour!

At least as recently as 2015, LA had plans for dedicated ROWs and 5-minute headways in the busiest parts of the city...did the plans get scrapped? Approved but not yet implemented? http://media.metro.net/board/Items/2015/03_march/20150326othersectorbrcitem2.pdf …

20 minute headways on rail after 8pm now.

That's what happens in a massive city with absurd labour costs. Autonomous trains or bust!

The Green Line was built to be thus. Killed by union
