In your opinion, defining a bus route within a neighborhood and identifying the various bus stops along the route is better achieved by: "Planning Experts" or "Informed Participation" from the neighbors Please give one or two reasons for your answer:

Planning experts have been designing bus routes for years. They know where to put a stop to service the most people, which is ideal for any stop. The experts can choose an effective route.

Informed participation is also important because the neighbors will know which stops in the past that have not been good. Maybe getting to the stop involved crossing a dangerous intersection or slush from the road always sprayed someone standing at the stop. Neighbors provide real expertise to improve the bus routes and stops.
