 According to general manager, GLTC has 791 stops as of 2024-02-29. In the past there were as many as 1200 stops. For comparison, Richmond, a much larger city, has 1600 stops in their bus system.
+Had conversation with Josh Moore (General Manager) and learned that any stops installed after ~2000 must be fully ADA compliant and have a logical connection to the rest of the sidewalk network or a nearby business. This is why they are so hesitant to cut down on stops. If they change their mind and want the stop back, it could cost them tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in land acquisition, construction, etc. There is also a "notice of proposed rulemaking" at [I believe] the Federal Transit Authority (FTA) which would require all stops [in FTA-funded systems, I presume] to be fully ADA-compliant. That would trigger a mass-removal of GLTC stops. In that case, I suppose they would just sink money into fairly widely spaced, high-quality stops, but the short term effect would certainly be bad for riders.
