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

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!

That's absurd. The 38 is also somewhat redundant with the 29 as well, correct?
-
The 29 operates every 2 hours during weekdays, and twice a day during weekends--no use for the heavy ridership that the 38 gets. Moreover, it operates from the Springfield garage instead of the UMass one, and so it has a farebox...

...students and residents in the Amherst area are accustomed to paying nothing to ride the bus, and there is no sign of this changing soon

I actually rode the 29 recently--it pulled up to a stop in Amherst center where a girl was waiting, she asked the driver (having never seen this bus before) if he would go to UMass. He said "yes, but you need to pay the fare." "Oh haha, nevermind, thanks!"
