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:

Informed participation from the neighbors is the key aspect to developing the bus route and stops. Neighborhood residents need to be consulted and interviewed at every stage of the process of developing the route and location of the stops. They have individual knowledge and understanding of traffic flow, neighborhood nuances (such as school rush hours and popular shopping locations – not reflecting simply the largest capacity, but also the ones most frequented.) Additionally, it should not be assumed that every person in the neighborhood will take the bus – a large error comes from user input and testing about bus services on people who will never use the bus themselves, however some of these people must be consulted as the stops and route of the bus have an overall effect on the neighborhood, not just those who are traveling on the bus.
