NF: There’s an effort that’s going on right now which is the Transit Effectiveness Project, and it started before I got here. But similarly, we were doing something similar in Atlanta, where we recognized over the years between bus stop locations and the number of bus stops, the routes and how they were set up maybe 15 or 20 years ago and the travel – how they were set up, and people’s travel patterns are not something that last over 15 or 20 years. You have to constantly reexamine them, and we’re in that process with the Transit Effectiveness study over the 18 months, to look at it and then come back with an examination and recommendation to make the system faster, more reliable, and more effective and efficient, so that if we do have needs on other lines, we can reallocate busses from one route to another that’s being overcrowded, or in some cases add more busses just straight out or reduce busses just straight out.

Look at in terms of our bus stop spacing. You know, that’s a concern in Atlanta, it’s a concern here. Over a 15-20 year period, you’re adding bus stops, and before it’s all over, your average speed on a trip is down by fifty percent, because the bus is stopping every other couple of feet. So we’ve got a lot of work to do in looking at the system in its entirety.
