I was looking forward to how so many bus lines in Raleigh would run on 15min intervals by 2024 thanks to the transit sales tax (plus the county transit plan that helped inform how to use that new revenue). Obviously it’s not for the entire system like what we’re talking about now, but you have to start somewhere and drum up support somehow.
From one of the proposed goals in the 2016 transit plan:
I’m sure it’s not too hard to back-calculate how close our buses are to this goal today, and I would totally make visuals of that if I had the time…
As for having proper transit between 440 (and beyond 540) and beyond…
…doesn’t that put you in a catch-22? Much more of the developments around these parts are SFHs that are terrible for getting around without a car by design. If we want transit to realistically serve places like these, I feel like you have to either serve them or outright get rid of all the cul-de-sacs.
