7. You probably need to wait at least half an hour. Go grab a coffee, but you’ll need to finish it before you get on the bus. Is there a garbage can?

Or did you bring a travel mug? Where did you keep it? Did you have access to a place to rinse it out when you were done?
8. Arrive back at Mumford and stop the timer.

Reflect on the experience. How efficient was your trip? How comfortable?

Imagine doing this with multiple bags of heavy groceries. Or with a child in a stroller. Or on a rainy day. Or with a mobility aid.
9. Chances are, even your direct trip from terminal to terminal was somewhat stressful.

Bayers lake is HOSTILE to pedestrians. Mumford terminal isn’t great either.

The comfort and convenience of drivers is prioritized every time.
10. It’s in the best interest of everybody to make transit more convenient and accessible (and I barely touched on accessibility in this thread)

Workers, employers, businesses, families, tourists, commuters...
11. The benefits of a good system extend far beyond the people physically on the bus.
