You're missing the forest by concentrating on the trees.What's the redesign's objective? What should be the rider's objective? How well does the redesign meet these objectives? WMATA's bus service efficiency $/VRM or $/VRH has increased drastically in the last few years. Their objective might be to reduce operating costs. Unless a GTFS schedule for the redesign is available, it's impossible to determine whether any meaningful rider metrics are achieved. One such metric is obviously the distance to the nearest bus stop. However, this metric can be misleading if buses run infrequently, slowly or don't connect to a preferred destination. Also, variation by time of day and day of week need to be considered. Any proposal or its analysis that does not consider these metrics is deficient. |
