[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, I hear you, I also feel like bus to metro lengthens my commute a lot and I get that it won't work for everyone. But we're trying really, really hard to avoid getting a second car as long as possible (I think having a second kid might be the breaking point), and those are factors that would help for people who do need or want to use public transit.

No doubt, and I am not saying they would have no impact or are bad ideas.  But there are a number of people who post on various threads claiming added buses would be a panacea and everyone should be willing to use them.  I was merely pointing out why it would be hard for increased buses to have a major impact because it would still lead to doubling or tripling of commmite times (more if you required two buses to make it work, more likely when you factor in people often don't go straight home) something I doubt man of the posters would be willing to do themselves.[/quote]

Plenty of people use buses now.   Increased bus frequency would almost certainly make it more viable for more people (especially for people who take more than one, because it would reduce transfer delay)[/quote]
