I think Valley Ride is counting on the fixed stops to help the routes run a little faster. <BR/><BR/>I've noticed on the State Street route that buses often stop almost every block or so. That's just way too inefficient, especially on a longer route. So this should help. Hopefully, people won't mind walking another block to catch a bus, especially if the buses run on time.Julie Fanselowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09914548762794031621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38420906.post-39367902859987612272008-08-12T14:31:00.000-06:002008-08-12T14:31:00.000-06:00Julie - they put signs up on the Roosevelt (#4) ro...Julie - they put signs up on the Roosevelt (#4) route, which is my home route.<BR/><BR/>Looks like the new designated stop is maybe 1/8 mile farther from my house, than my traditional "flag-down" stop.<BR/><BR/>Apparently ValleyRide feels the pluses of the stop system outweigh the minuses. They're the experts, but I believe I'm correct when I say, as a rule, the farther people have to walk at either end to ride a bus, the less likely they will be to choose that option.Bikeboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17379272663647894409noreply@blogger.com
