You know, you're right about frequency on 2 Barton. I was overinterpreting my own experience of pass-bys and bunched buses. The nominal frequency is every 7.5 minutes during peak hours, which is pretty darn good. The unreliability, poor connections, and frequent pass-bys still leave a lot of room for improvement. And turning the A-line east on Barton as far as HGH would vastly improve accessibility from the Mountain.

The bike lane heading north on Victoria from Barton can't be useful to more than a couple of people. I was unaware of the route from Ferguson through the parking lots. Reminds me of the Swiss Chalet shortcut from Bay and York through to Napier: great for the 1% of most committed cyclists (like me and you), but useless for promoting cycling as a mainstream means of transportation. The frustrating thing is that a two-way cycle track on Victoria from Cannon to the main entrance of HGH would inconvenience practically no one given how overbuilt Victoria is.
