time for a new SacRT system map
Update: Added the January 2017 SacRT system map to the bottom of the post. It makes good use of color to distinguish bus routes, but does not contain any frequency information except off-peak routes. SacRT's system map scores low on usability. All fixed route bus service, except commuter routes, are shown in the same color … Continue reading time for a new SacRT system map

renumber the routes!
On Thursday morning, I very nearly boarded an E-Tran (Elk Grove) bus 11 on 8th Street, when what I wanted was the SacRT bus 11, which came a few minutes later. It was misty with rain, and all I could clearly see was the 11 on the front display sign, and didn't notice until stepping … Continue reading renumber the routes!
Frequency on bus route signs

Coverage vs Ridership Charts
The final post, before our meeting this Saturday, on the SacRT Forward process and documents is on the High Coverage Alternative and High Ridership Alternative route charts. At a glance, the High Ridership Alternative seems to have far less bus routes. However, some of these routes are longer, including some pieces of other existing routes. … Continue reading Coverage vs Ridership Charts
SacRT Existing Frequencies and Spans
Another item of interest from the SacRT Forward Alternatives Report is the Route Frequencies and Service Span for existing routes graphic, shown below. SacRT has only four high frequency routes during on weekdays: 1, 30, 51 and 81.
