“But the majority of cities need to devote most of their energy to making high-capacity, fixed-route transit perform better in the places where it can. When existing bus routes are unreliable and slow, focusing attention on microtransit is like trying to perfect dessert at a restaurant that routinely burns the entrees. If effectively serving the most riders is the key goal, then the question of how to replace the bus on the urban fringe is less important than the need to make the bus work in busy corridors.” (Steven Higashide, Better Buses, Better Cities)
