Arent there any routes that could be served all day with a small bus?
It is true that routes in the periphery and new routes have lower ridership. Some of this service may not carry loads that exceed the capacity of a small bus. These routes do not stand alone, however. There is an extensive amount of interlining across the entire service area. This is an important factor in providing service cost-effectively and is fundamental to how transit service is structured and scheduled. If constraints were placed on interlining, service itself would change significantly. It would require a detailed study to determine the cost that would be incurred. Anything else?
