The principles were: design <br />routes and schedules so that reliable, on-time performance can be maintained; focus <br />resources where they can be most productive; reduce duplication of CTS routes on West <br />Main Street; reduce duplication with UTS services; incorporate driver layover, make-up <br />time and serving the Downtown Station in schedules; require each bus to adopt at the <br />Downtown Station each trip; maintain a 30-minute pulse at the Downtown Station; <br />establish the basis for adding new routes and services as the metropolitan area continues <br />to expand. Two alternatives were presented. Minor changes: maintain current route <br />patterns but add buses so that published schedules can be maintained. Major changes: <br />revise route patterns in accord with principles, to permit maintaining schedules without <br />adding buses; set a basic pattern for future route expansion. Mr. Spielberg noted that the <br />major changes cost less than the minor changes. <br /> <br /> <br />
