Routing and Levels of Service
The Madison Area Bus Advocates envision a A Local AND Streamlined Rapid System with at least 6 different types of bus routes or service:
-
1. core service running almost all the time
2. direct commuter service to and from outside Madison
3. peak commuter service with limited stops within Madison
4. circulators and shuttles
5. service for special need populations
6. connectors to intercity transport carriers
