Overall Average
25 %
Depending on route-specific operating conditions, sufficient
additional time should be built into the schedules as a cushion
to ensure schedule adherence, timed transfers and bus
operations within posted speed limits. A minimum of 10%
recovery time should be incorporated into route schedules.
Buses will only operate along streets engineered to facilitate
safe and effective bus operations. Turning radii, street
widths, bus size and overhead clearances must be
considered in this assessment.
