And it's not that's some unusual thing, I shared the example above, that
Marina District to Financial District goes from a 30 minute with ~3 miles
of transit a 40 minute ride ~7 mile ride across half the city to skirt
around car traffic.
I think you're misreading the comment: The point is that for most major cities
"at 3 am you expect a most things to be closed" is a such an obvious concept.
But here in SF 10 pm might as well be "3 am".
If you couldn't piece it together, I'm tolerating living here for things other than the sake of my enjoyment...
> within ¼ mile of a Muni stop
So is that why half of your bus lines make so many stops that they're practically unusable?
Most of your comment is about detailed improvements and rationale behind that system... I'm not a transportation planner: instead I just look at the reality that getting 2.6 miles from my neighborhood by the Panhandle to the Mission is a 15 minute drive, but a 35 minute bus ride that takes 24 stops.

That's what indicates to me that this city needs more BRT lines: Interruptions are one thing, but you're not going to find yourself needing to travel halfway across most major cities in the wrong direction because traffic messes up the direct route every single day
> I think you're conflating New York with most major cities here. Even the London and Tokyo metros don't run 24x7. Most cities, big or small, tend to shut down at night. New York is very much an outlier.
