GGH Transportation and Growth Plan

I also explain this opinion on a later post. My example was based on taking one bus the entire trip with no transfers.

First of all, your statement was an absolute statement. As was explained to you, many trips are sped up by more frequent service.

I understand that you gave a personal example which is why I made a very polite and very open comment to you replying that yes, you gave an example where you personally would not see a faster trip, and that's reasonable, but that you should still acknowledge the counter examples to your absolute statement.

I also explained that the data on the subject is clear, frequency does drive ridership. Much of it is not related to trip time, but instead flexibility (which is another aspect of convenience).

But none of that explains why you would say something like "Where did I say that increasing frequency would not reduce travel time?" when you have said EXACTLY that statement without ever recanting or acknowledging that statement is overly broad.
