Could bus stops on busy routes be further apart?

EvilDoctorK

To get back to the original question ... on some bus routes the stops are indeed ridiculously close together

One of the most stunning examples I can think of is on the North Circular Road coming down to Dorset St (at the back of the Mater) - there are two bus stops there which must be under well 100m apart (served by the 122 bus)- small thing I know but there must be countless examples of this in the city.

It might be an idea if there was a minimum distance between stops of say 400m (and maybe then ensure that all stops had shelters) ? ... but I think it would be politically unpopular to remove busstops (as you can see from the above Stillorgan example even if it's not quite the same thing.)

yeah on a slightly related point dublin bus at one stage introduced hail and ride on some of the imp routes
no bus stops just put out your hand wherever you are
what a disaster ten people on the one road all standing outside their front gates one after another
