The logic of Metro

[elfs]

I can understand that Metro, wanting to save money on gas, sends out the lighter, shorter diesels rather than the longer half-electrics to my neighborhood. What I can't understand is why they send out the lighter, shorter diesels during the commute when ridership is up almost 10% and the buses were already uncomfortably crammed for the 35-minute drive before you took away the articulateds?

Ridership is up so they give us smaller, more crowded buses. It's never really been about covenience and comfort, I know, but could they at least pretend?

The nice thing about the high price of gas these days is that you can provide whatever crappy level of service you want as a mass transit system and people will still ride. Ah, the joys of a captive audience...
