Comment: And as long as LTD uses the 'hub' model for its bus routes, mass transit will be a failure.  

Too few people have either the time to or are willing to take a bus from one outlying suburb to a central 'hub' in either Eugene or Springfield and then transfer to a different suburb to shop, have a medical appointment or whatever.

It's even worse if you need to go from a Springfield suburb to a Eugene suburb.  You get to transfer through at least two 'hubs' and then repeat the process to get back home.

A trip which could be done and over in 30 minutes by car  takes as much as a couple of hours instead.

Doing multiple errands on LTD at one time is an all day sucker!
