      The survey didn't go into detail about what kind of work schedule or location was involved, but I don't think it's a leap to assume that these are not entirely--or even mostly--9 to 5 office jobs in the city center on weekdays.

      To serve such a broad range of trip purposes, origins, and destinations, the bus network needs high service frequency, a distributed network emphasizing transfers, and a long span of service

      These requirements should sound familiar: they are similar to the requirements we have for car travel (minimal waiting for trips, many "transfer points" between different roads at intersections, 24 hr availability) and for the same reason (enormous variety in trip purposes)

      Results from a statewide travel survey: less than 8% of trips involve going to work (and it's a safe bet most of those aren't office jobs either!), and 2/3 of households surveyed made more than 5 trips in a day!pic.twitter.com/UYl2qQE3v6

      Travel and transportation is about SO MUCH MORE than "go into the city at 9, go home at 5, relax on the weekend" Yet that one very specific travel pattern still has a stranglehold on planners, officials, and the overall state of transport discussion and imagination

      Because we don't have a whole lot of data on the other trips. No origin-destination info for non-commute car trips. No data on weekend commuter rail ridership AT ALL.

      seems a bit chicken-and-egg though; there could be less info on those trips because they aren't a priority!

      Well yes, because the priority is "congestion relief". But also because they really are harder to measure.

      Congestion relief, power, self-interest. 9-5 jobs have higher average status than those that don't. The people who make the rules - officials, bureaucrats, etc, are 9 to 5ers.

      People who work 9 to 5 make non-work trips too! The power thing is all too true though.

      Right! It's not just that they're only thinking of their own travel patterns, but also that they aren't thinking very clearly about even their own travel patterns
