[quote=Anonymous]The reason they run service like this is because transit nerds convinced them to do it. Ostensibly it is supposed to save operating costs and induce more daytime ridership. However, I suspect the real reason is that most of these transit nerds don’t have regular jobs and it’s really about making it more convenient for them to go around during the day. Like most transportation policy nowadays, things are moving away from promoting and maximizing use for the greater number/good and towards rewarding niche groups. In this case it might just be urban planning grad students whose first class on campus starts at 11 AM. [/quote]
