4. But what if you're not on the street where the bus runs?

What if you're on the next street over (say, Anza between Geary and Balboa)?

Routes such as those you describe are common during peak-direction commute hours. Maybe they just need more of them all day.

As it happens, I'm on my way to a VTA budget panel this very afternoon. On light rail, of course.

P.S. Ever hear of TransForm? They're a transit advocacy group here in the Bay.
