I was in Vegas recently, and most of the dwell times was due to boarding 
and not alighting. The Deuce as it is known had people swipe their 
passes through the fare box and the farebox are also the ticket vending 
machine on the buses. Their GPS announcements was fairly accurate, and 
people on the upper deck were able to see their stop approaching. Also, 
they do not allow standees in the stairwell.

Also, I find it very interesting that people are ready to shoot down an 
idea before it has a chance to take flight. Maybe that is why things are 
the way they are sometimes. And remember, this is a test to determine 
whether the buses are feasible in SF or not. If not, then let the test 
prove it. If there are issues, then let's address them.
