The peak frequency deduction is then allocated based on the percentage of routes that have a frequency of at least eight buses per hour in the peak period. Scoring Guidelines: Off-peak frequency is measured by the buses per hour of each route passing through the highestdemand segment on the corridor during the off-peak (midday) period.
