Bus Network Redesign
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
A transit agency may elect to conduct a bus network redesign if it determines that the existing bus network does not meet the needs of current desired travel patterns. This is likely to occur in cities and regions where development patterns, job types and locations, and/or demographics have changed substantially, and where the bus route network has remained relatively unchanged.
