What do I do when there's no bus route anywhere near my work? I cycle when it's weather appropriate but I ain't cycling to work in 20°C heatwave.

This assumes all of them live right next to each other though

Is the idea of 68 people living within a few blocks of a bus line hard to believe? You know they don't all get on on from the same stop, right?

[–] LambdaDuck@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

they only need to live within walking distance from any bus stop along the line. the difference averages out to something around that ballpark

You need about 7 passengers per bus at all times in order for it to be more efficient in gas.

I would rather have a world full of velomobiles than buses.

Yeah, but buses generally suck. Give me actual rail, thanks.

The DC Metro was amazing.

People people. We need to solve the problem of cars by building bigger cars!

No that's not it. They need to be smaller
