But even putting that aside, what does 5 minute frequency have to do with it? On the 401 buses and trucks operate at 120km/h on LOS with sub-3s headways. Now of course there are collisions every so often but even 5 minute frequency is 100 times less often then typical frequency on a lane of the 401. So again, why is ATP needed to operate what are essentially slightly longer buses at only 70km/h with no random drivers getting in way (obviously slower in tightly curved areas; but I’m talking about the long nearly-straight sections)?
ATP is not required for full speed for the time being.
Then why don’t they run at full speed? I don’t believe they are exceeding 50km/h on the ATP sections even though speeds up to 70km/h are posted in many areas.
