Hub and spoke system for public transport

A few people have written to the newspaper to complain about the proposed change to the hub and spoke system for public transport. They do not like having to transfer from one bus to another. They prefer the current system of many buses that travel long distance.

I believe that the hub and spoke system is more efficient and will benefit commuters as a whole. It will simplify the transport system and encourage more people to take public transport. The only drawback is the need to make a transfer, but this can be an advantage as the short walk will be good for health.

Commuters do not like to spend 10 minutes to wait for a transfer. When the new system if fully implemented, I expect that the waiting time will be shorter as there will be more buses to run the shorter routes.

Some people argued that the elderly and disabled will be inconvenienced. I believe that it is better for some other arrangements should be made for them, instead of using public transport.
