Comment on Most Australians take more than 30 minutes to get to work. How does that compare to other countries?
ilyushinsofgrandeur@aussie.zone 2 months agoRelated: I’ve heard NIMBYs bringing up that “the bus is faster (may have a quicker journey time in certain conditions)” and because of this, stuff like light rail and quality BRT is a waste of time. It certainly isn’t faster if you have to wait for >30 min for it though because mixed traffic is an awful environment for generating and maintaining high patronage and thus good investment. Our value assessment frameworks need work to say the least

Anyone who uses the word “fast” about busses clearly doesn’t regularly use them.

Hear, hear! It’s ludicrous indeed, but even if it were true, the extra waiting and traffic eat up whatever gains would exist. Give me a dedicated way, high frequencies and predictable service over hypothetical “speed” any day.
