Hey #publictransit nerds, I have a question: is my local transit agency dumb, or is there something smart here that I'm missing?

Along certain corridors, they recently changed how the bus stops work, so that the buses stop in the traffic lane for boarding instead of pulling out of traffic. So far so good, I didn't understand this at first but in general this is actually quite a bit faster and involves less merging, so it seems like a good move.

BUT they tend to put the stops right AFTER traffic lights, so that cars behind the bus end up stranded in the intersection, waiting, even after the light changes and they're now blocking cross traffic.

Wouldn't it make more sense to put the stops right *before* the traffic lights so that when cars have to wait behind stopped buses, they're doing so safely out of an intersection?

Is this as dumb as it seems or is there some good reason to do this?

Possible fun developing on #Perth’s Joondalup Line.

New York City’s ferry is becoming an unlikely transit darling, drawing more riders and a cult online following as the city bets that boats can be both useful infrastructure and a genuinely enjoyable way to move around.
