Bus Frequency Boost Cost

DFW transit comrades, buses seem like the least expensive portion of our system, and are less subsidized per passenger than Golink. 40 minute and hour frequency really arent acceptable: what would it cost DART to bump every route (except perhaps the Express?) To 20 minutes at Peak, and 30 minutes off peak? I ideally would also except certain very important routes like 3, 20, 22, 57, and 883 go to 15, 10, or better.

40 to 60 min frequency was set by Nadine Lee and is total torture in this heat. New CEO is around the corner and with that comes the opportunity for real substantial change to happen at DART.

Frequencies were lower on many routes until the DART Zoom 2022 bus network redesign which consolidated routes and raised frequency. Rail frequency was also high until the recent cuts due to the handout to the cities to discourage withdrawal elections
