so the 5, the 31, and the 38 would get more spread out stops, would stop less frequently and speed up.

it takes like 40 minutes to get from Market St. to around Anza-ish on a local 31 anyway. that needs to be sped up.

and remember, the standard is 95% of addresses. doesn't need to be within 2 blocks of EVERY address.
