Density and Auto Commuting in 2015 | The Antiplanner

Interesting charts. Density matters for transit use, but not very much.

We have no idea what cities the dots are or whatever. It looks like someone made graph in MS Paint and slapped it on web page with 2 sentences.

Nor does it take into account transit access for the given area it showed.

Buses. Flood the zone if you want to immediately and dramatically increase transit access, especially in low density areas.

Again, that will not work as you will create bus bunching with that idea.

I just don't think bus bunching would be that big a problem, cq.

Bus bunching would not occur if GDOT/MARTA/city/county could work out a way for buses to have signal priority/queue jumps.

That's not really how bus-bunching works. To be fair, there's also such a thing as train-bunching, but it's much easier to reach bus-bunching given the lower capacity and fewer points of entry for the vehicles compared to trains.
