They aren't likely to transfer to another bus, or at least so the transpo journal articles tell us, so with that calculus, downtown and midtown are your destinations, and RPTC would be a minimally-useful and minute-chewing side trip.

Given the 45 minute headways, it will be interesting to see how successful it is. By contrast, the new DDOT 95/96 run on 30 minute [[or so) headways and only at peak hours. This will make a nice little comparison study down the road a piece, if anyone cares to do it
I understand that they are trying to re-attract "choice riders". I just feel that it should be attractive and useful to people who ride buses too.
