This is 8 stops (1.2 miles) plus 4 sets of Traffic Lights and at least two Ped-Xs. In the peak, it gets up to 14 minutes but on Saturday and Sunday mornings it gets 5! How are you supposed to get through 4 sets of traffic lights in 5 minutes, irrelevant of traffic conditions and the amount of passengers picked up?

That's quite a contrast between the weekend and weekday timing!

On a Saturday morning, it gets just 3-5 minutes, which is all it really needs on a weekday. This is residential area, severe queuing traffic is rare.
