Number of Doors on Bus<br />
3 points maximum<br />
The speed of boarding <strong>and</strong> alighting is partially<br />
a function of the number of bus doors. Much<br />
like a subway in which a car has multiple wide<br />
doors, buses need the same in order to let higher<br />
volumes of people on <strong>and</strong> off the buses. One door<br />
or narrow doorways become bottlenecks that<br />
delay the bus.<br />

3+ doors or 2 wide doors points<br />

Scoring Guidelines: Buses need to have three<br />
or more doors <strong>for</strong> articulated buses or two<br />
wide doors <strong>for</strong> regular buses to qualify <strong>for</strong> the<br />
below points.
