I hear what you are saying about Making Sat and Sun schedules similar. It's true however, that I don't mind the #22 bus on Saturday, but on Sunday, it can be a long wait till the next bus. So more people are maybe taking the RTA rapid in Shaker, rather than the buses? What do you think? All I know is, more public transportation is needed, not less. Thanks for your thoughful comments.

Meaning, I'm the only one on the bus! So a move like this may make sense if I'm understanding a cut isn't the same as eliminating? I think a Sunday like schedule for the whole weekend may help them a bit fiscally. Hell, a Saturday like schedule during the week may suffice too. I live near Larchmere and Shaker Square and the 11 and 12 are practically empty except during school hours. That's when I decide to lazily walk to Shaker Square to get the train. I don't know man. Maybe diminish service on the dead lines during those dead times but keep the popular lines flowing? I work at Cleveland Clinic and the 48 is robust even in late hours when I do a little overtime. I dont know but I like not having to buy a car due to the RTA's options and my location. Just get rid of some of the bad drivers. Seriously cutting lines might make sense.
