There is all kinds of room for stationing a few extras in the core.... if the city were willing to sacrifice a few parking spots.

And further more, there is cost pressures to avoid route overlapping downtown, even though downtown is not a one stop destination. Hopefully, the future will make it even less so.

Where is this "cost pressure" coming from? Why is the avoidance of "overlapping" a desireable goal? Overlapping routes are a feature, not a bug. The idea that this is Your One Bus is such suburban thinking.
