The current multiple schedules are apparently difficult to implement smoothly without a starter located "midtown".
The situation is aggrevated by the fact that when a bus is late for the tram you have to wait again.
Has anyone estimated the cost of the buses circling continuously, say,with a minimum interval from the starting point that can be varied depending on the time of the day ? I have seen three buses line up at the tram !!!
Do all the buses have to go to the Northtown which has the smallest population share of all the areas ?
Would it make sense to have a northern circle route and repeat
and a southern circle route during non-rush hours ? That would save a lot of gasoline (especially if the bus fare is eliminated in order to increase efficiency)
