RTA is bragging about "expanded" service on Clifton 55 line, but how is this bus line user-friendly when bus stops are 10 blocks apart? Are there really that many CSU students living on Clifton?
- new, larger shelters with more places to sit and bike racks
- new, larger, nicer looking buses with more places to sit
- faster service because
- stops are spread out so the buses don't have to stop as often
- the buses have right-of-way in the outside lane during rush hour
The result: Buses arrive every 10-15 mins during rush hour, I always have somewhere to sit, and the bus gets me from Warren to downtown in <20 mins - faster than driving in rush hour traffic especially if I have to find parking.
You won't hear me complaining. Great job GCRTA!
