we put it in the perfect place. if it ran down boulevard or monument it would not be nearly as effective. rockets landing was the perfect stopping point and willow lawn is a great starting point. i think we could keep extending it west and it would be just as popular. we should add more lines too. Hull street or Midlothian trnpk should be our next target.

They started with a great initial route. Buy in and changing peoples habits will take time but slowly expanding the network should be a top priority. Making the Pulse more useable and accessible to more of the population will benefit us all. Adoption will take time.

Just as popular? Try more popular. I'd head to SP more often if I could park and ride and Willow Lawn.

Yeah, I don't know if the next frontier is a whole new line, but dedicated lane extension all the way down to Short Pump Town Center

i think the bus already goes from willow lawn to short pump. I don't think it is as frequent as the pulse though. does anyone know how popular that route is?

It's a half hour route that takes 45 minutes to get from one end to the other.
It's nothing like Pulse. The combination of fewer stops, real bus stops with seats and covering to protect you from the elements, and more frequent service would be a game changer.

only 15 extra minutes to use the bus is pretty good actually. more frequency and real bus stops would be a huge game changer. that's for every route. our bus stops are practically hidden. most don't even have a sidewalk

It’s a dangerous crossing to get off the Pulse and run across Broad to catch the westbound bus. I love the Pulse and would be ecstatic is it ran to Short Pump.
