San Leandro LINKS Shuttle Service Alternatives <br />San Leandro Transportation Management Organization <br /> <br />Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates Inc. | 2-2 <br />Figure 2 Description of Alignment, Frequency, and Service Span <br /> <br />Alignment: Route alignment is the actual path that a <br />bus or shuttle travels within a service area. Alignment <br />decisions should be based on directness of desired travel <br />and providing access to passenger destinations. The <br />route alignment will also factor in to how long a shuttle <br />takes to complete its route. <br /> <br />Frequency: Route frequency is the number of buses per <br />hour or the elapsed time between consecutive buses . <br />Frequency for circulator shuttles is typically less than 20 <br />minutes. If frequencies are less than 15 minutes, riders <br />will often not require a schedule. Higher frequencies are <br />more convenient for passengers as it allows them to be <br />flexible in their own personal schedules. Higher route <br />frequencies either require shorter alignments or more <br />vehicles. <br /> <br />Service Span: Service span describes how long a <br />shuttle service operates. Currently, the LINKS service is <br />“peak only,” meaning it only operates during certain <br />periods of the day. Lengthening the service span (mid- <br />day or later evening) may expand the service to different <br />types of riders. <br /> <br /> Morning <br /> <br /> <br />
