      Not sure how up to date this map that I found is: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=14ME4a7PHhjwxKmflLHJFWsdhW08&hl=en_US&ll=34.027401765686676%2C-118.2345736228333&z=12 … If accurate, then this explains a lot...very little service at frequencies above 4/hour. A 15 minute wait is near the bottom threshhold of convenience, even here in Western MA we manage that!

      The map shows a reasonably extensive network with service "at least" every 15 minutes, but in fact the bulk of services shown don't exceed it. Even their rail lines! Why go to all that trouble if you'll top out at 10 minute headways? C'mon, I don't want to be waiting more than 5!

      To say nothing of that all-important disclaimer: "not necessarily evenings and weekends" You know, when everyone is going out and having fun...a timetable like this says "please drive drunk instead"

      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!

      Am I going to have to write a blog post about why 15-minute headways are not really "frequency is freedom"?

      15-minute headways aren't great but seem like a reasonable minimum standard.

      Not when you're expected to make untimed transfers.

      Yes, you shouldn't expect people to make untimed transfers unless at least one of the routes is significantly better than every 15 minutes. But the 15-minute route can still be useful, whereas a 30-minute bus route is basically useless.

      It's useful if it's timed with other things...

      I was gonna say--even if it doesn't connect to any other services, it can be very useful. What it can't be, however, is convenient for people who just show up to wait at a stop without checking the schedule first.
