alt Hacker News> Nyc has a subway for longer trips. So shorter stops make sense as anyone with a longer trip should be on the subway.
That’s not how bus routes in NYC are organized at all.

To further elaborate — NYC subway routing is not effective for some kinds of trips (notoriously: moving north-south through brooklyn/queens, east-west across much of manhattan, etc)
There are very busy bus routes organized like this. Though I will agree it is a minority. Where not organized like this the article applies.
