I didn't say every bus.

I didn't mention trams.

I wasn't making a general case that's applicable to every city.

I was talking about specifically about SF, which has relatively uncongested roads, bus lanes that are mostly empty, and where the busiest bus stops receive buses no more than ~10 times per hour.

You said this:

> Running that bus every 5 mins (which presents no special difficulty) would double the capacity, and reduce average wait time by 5 mins.

the problem with public transportation among other things are connections. running specific buses with a higher frequency does not give you a lower wait time (on the journey) but only on that stop.

> I didn't say every bus. > I didn't mention trams.

ok i don't get it. why did you bring this up at all then?
