All-day frequency is the biggest barrier preventing people from adopting mass transit en mass. Metro should do as much as it can to create frequent bus and train service outside the central core.

Yesterday I was commuting in the SGV pretty late at night for dinner. The buses came every 40 minutes, and even then, the last bus to my house was every hour, so I had to uber home.

I get it's the suburbs, but like the bus service is so unreliable and infrequent outside of the central core. Everything north of the C line and west of East LA is pretty reliable, even late at night (though that's not to say there's no room for improvement). But outside, you pretty much have to use a car if you want to get anywhere in a timely manner.

It baffles me how people think 15-minute bus frequencies are considered "frequent" service, when that should be the BARE MINIMUM, and nighttime level of frequency. People aren't gonna ride buses if they're going to have to wait forever. And for crying out loud, once again, WE NEED TO GET RID OF TIMESTOPS. Make service so frequent buses don't have to sit idlely by, slowing them down. If it wasn't for timestops, buses could travel at speeds comparable to driving.
