Totally agreed. I also question the length of certain routes. Looking at my neighbourhood the McKenzie Towne bus no goes through Douglasglen, that industrial park, Douglasdale, and then makes its way onto McKenzie Towne. That's a pretty long ride for somebody trying to get from A to B. Once again, CT merged routes due to low ridership; meaning you now have buses running all over the place instead of just down the major streets.

Give people more frequent and faster buses; and they will be willing to walk an extra 5 minutes to catch it.
