One pet peeve that gets to me is something that’s done on a lot of commuter railways and S-Bahns, the 10/20 minute schedule. The schedule looks like:
2:10
2:20
2:40
2:50
3:10
etc, when it should be like this:
2:10
2:25
2:40
2:55
3:10
This minimizes waiting and allows for frequent service every 15 minutes.
What are your pet peeves?
Buses can be great. My guess is that you are dealing with buses that are either horrendously underfunded (low frequency, poor quality seats, stuck in traffic constantly), or are running transit services that should have been a subway many years ago. Buses can play a great role (especially trolleybuses) in cities that can’t build or shouldn’t build metro everywhere. High quality buses running every 5-10 minutes to every station can turn a single metro line into a comprehensive transit network.
