Default Fantasy bus routes

If you had the power to add/change/remove bus routes, what would you do?

Introduce a direct Harrow to Ealing bus route, linking at least town
centre with town centre. Takes under 20 mins by car; but a very
awkward journey by bus/tube, taking up to an hour, with multiple
changes.


(Or, seeing as this is fantasy, extend the Greenford line to Harrow by
light rail, as someone suggested here recently... if only...)

Why not interchange from the 182 to the 83 at Wembley Central?

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

Because it's an extremely unreliable route. The 182 and 83 are both
prone to delays and bunching; 20-30 mins total waiting for buses
occurs far too often.

It's not even the quickest way with theoretical average waiting times.
Try sticking Harrow-on-the-Hill to Ealing Broadway into the TfL
Journey Planner: it doesn't come up with that route, or indeed any
route with less than 2 changes.
