DDOT poor bus services

No. The problem is management. I ride the Woodward bus and oftentimes there's a long wait and then two, sometimes three, buses come all bunched together.
Dispatching the buses at set intervals is not rocket science.

There is a statistical theory on bunching and gaps in a flow that was expounded on in a book called "Why Do Buses Run In Threes".

Thanks so much for that comment. This forum provides opportunities for thought, and for challenges to my ideas. I would never have thought of this -- but it is so obvious. Thanks.
