The initial map of this post represents the results found in the second map. It includes the total calculated size of the catchment area for frequent transit lines in Detroit compared to the size of underserved areas. The underserved areas of the city make up almost 2.5x the area that is served by frequent transit. I see these shortcomings as a sign that the city should invest in improving the frequency of bus services on existing routes rather than attempting to create new infrastructure for other modes of transportation. If infrastructure improvements are made, they should be to improve bus services in the city (i.e. creating dedicated bus lanes, bus rapid transit upgrades to existing routes, improving bus stop shelters, etc).
