      The much-celebrated "flexibility" of buses usually means "unreliability" and "inconsistency" from the passenger perspectivehttps://twitter.com/devonzuegel/status/999042791773634560 …

      The flexibility of buses is overrated if you get rail right in the first place 🚍🚇🚊

      Let me tell you: no matter how "inflexible" it may seem, it is a tremendous load off my mind to know that I can always find the bus at the same stop at the same time heading to the same destination

          One of the worst things about the bus schedules where I live is the sheer variability: a given route runs one schedule on weekdays, another on saturdays, a third on sundays, and may operate entirely different weekday, saturday, and sunday schedules when schools are on vacation

          Other routes simply won't run at all on Sundays--or on Sundays AND Saturdays--and a few *change their route* depending on the day of the week. Some routes operate different schedules on Thursdays and Fridays than they do Monday thru Wednesday.

          Possibly the worst offender is Route 38, which connects Amherst w Mount Holyoke College: this route operates every half hour when the colleges are in session & doesn't run at all during vacations... ...except during winter break, when it operates every 40 minutes...

          ...and then it has *yet another* schedule which it operates during the end of December and Spring Break, where it operates 4 round trips a day. The regular school year schedule is different on M-W, Thursday, Friday, Sat, and Sun. Winter schedule is similar, but M-Th is constant.

          Needless to say, this is dizzying to keep track of--trips that are easy to make during the week (while I'm working) become impossible as soon as I get some time off. The aforementioned Route 38 is ideal for hiking--but doesn't run during the summer, which is the best time to hike

          Oh one more thing: schedules for all routes get updated as many as *four times every year,* so by the time you memorize one you might be too late.

          It would be one thing if we needed to keep changing schedules because of runaway population growth or decline--but neither are issues in Western MA. It's a very stagnant place! We ought to be able to simplify most routes to a "weekday & weekend" schedule, or even a constant one!

          Occasionally I see a local RTA bus in my street. I have no idea when it runs, where it stops or if it would take me anywhere useful.

          I see a dozen paratransit buses in my area for every fixed-route bus, and they're operated by the same agency!

          One reason that to be a success, #regionalrail needs to be accompanied by improved service targets for connecting RTAs.

          I'm literally within two miles of two commuter rail stations but even on current poor schedules there's no bus service to connect me

          and this is a relatively high density neighborhood, 200+ dwellings in my complex alone. But only option is to drive and park!
