It seems to me the logical thing to have done was increase the number of buses per route instead of changing the existing routes so drastically!  Now, it takes me 2 buses to get where I used to take only one and I have to walk a mile to get to my doctor's office because no bus runs down 36th between A and Lake Otis anymore.  It doesn't seem the planners looked into this problem deeply enough.  Not everyone can drive and not everyone has the money to take a cab!
