It's a footnote in my ongoing study, "BRT is the bus, but for people with more money"

And it's genuinely quite frequent! They used to run artics on it back in the 90s and 80s! It's low-key the same but with Branding

They keep telling me, "the wheels on the bus go round and round," and I keep saying back, "brother, that's not even the third most important thing about bus operations"

A trick or treater just panic-stomped a rat to death on our front walk. Incredible Halloween vibes. Blood everywhere

I realized that my cranks were stripping right when I was leaving Gary at like 15th & Madison and basically had to just be like "ok"

Æthelred the UnPreddy @ready4preddy.bsky.social · 2d

I am going to be honest this is all entirely my fault. Wednesday night I was overcome with the urge to swap these pedals out for some spare SPDs i had lying around. Immediately cross-threaded them and stripped the cranks. Swapped back to flats. went out today naively thinking "I can ignore this :)"

Well, the intersection line answers your question in your favor, I think.

Æthelred the UnPreddy @ready4preddy.bsky.social · 2d

I'm also not sure what headway qualifies as "frequent" yet, but I'm sure the text states. 10"? 15"?

Æthelred the UnPreddy @ready4preddy.bsky.social · 2d

The specifics of the text will dictate the calculation (span of service used to calculate average headway, stop level or route level, any additional steps for transfer locations)

Æthelred the UnPreddy @ready4preddy.bsky.social · 2d

I haven't read the specific text so I'm not much of an authority at this moment. I would say this is typically calculated at the stop level, eg. If two 30 minute frequency routes share a stop, that would be an average of 4 trips per hour. Not typically calculated at the intersection level

Between this Kankakee extension and the Rockford extension we're getting closer and closer to metra just becoming a statewide rail operator. Makes a feller think !
