A whole lot of short turning downtown would solve that problem but we wouldn't really have a bus line anymore. We'd have the same 301 we have now and a 302 extended to the north. I think labelling both routes with the same number would just add confusion.
If we did extend the 302 to the north, while trimming the number 0f 301s in operation by a corresponding amount, it would make scheduling more difficult but it could make sense. It could help build some NC-SE ridership in anticipation of the LRT. It would also allow the the 301 to be extended south to Chinook (say a loop of 58th Ave, 5 St, and Glenmore back to Elbow) to relieve the most congested portion of the 3 in the south.

So you're thinking if the 302 needs to be 1/3 the frequency of the 301, just have the 302 meet the south needs and 1/3 of the north needs, with the 301 filling in for the other 2/3?
