I mean in those areas where it just identical houses along a road in huge blocks.
How would you realisyicly solve it?
I wonder if this might be a situation where autonomous vehicles could really solve a problem. Like if there were like 2 or 3 minivan size vehicles that you could summon to ferry you from your house to the nearest real bus stop. The vehicle would only have to go like 20 miles an hour to make it safe for pedestrians and be compellingly worthwhile to make people take the bus instead of drive
who knows if when they will exist. if they exist they will probably work.
Could just have a human driver. I think the impromptu routing would be the thing that works best for suburbs.
You want the shuttle available as completely as the bus.
In a given neighborhood there could be many hours only a few / no people need the shuttle. It would be hard to staff.
Be cooler to make a protected shuttle lane where the shuttle operates under very strict controlled parameters.
