General University Area Updates and Rumours

So that leaves roughly half of 620'000+ people who don't live in walkable or transit friendly areas. That's nothing to feel good about.

A good chunk of that 53% could still live along bus routes that only run every 30 minutes which is not viable for many people who may have to rely on things like assisted mobility, who are elderly, who have children and families to care for, who work multiple jobs and need as much time as possible or who may only have painted bike lanes to make biking a potential. You can't just look at statics and numbers you know.

85% of homes are within 400 m of a bus stop. If you pump that too 800 meters (walking distance) you'll hit even higher.

I'm not going to say our transit system is good, but our coverage is very good....which frankly, is part of the problem. Coverage is prioritized which leads to bad routes and inefficient use of funds. Especially when our urban planning and development plans are made without the slightest regard for transit service.
