|---|---|---:|---:|
| pvta | earliest start 05:00, latest end 26:58 (across routes) | 26.5 | 63.5 |

## 5. Gaps

### Summary counts

- **geographic_gap_places**: 14
- **routes_without_sunday**: 23
- **sparse_headway_routes**: 18
- **remote_watchlist**: 9
- **data_availability_issues**: 2

### Sunday service

- **pvta**: 40/63 routes have Sunday calendar association (63.5%)
- **peterpan**: 51/51 routes have Sunday calendar association (100.0%)
- **greyhound**: 19/19 routes have Sunday calendar association (100.0%)

Many PVTA routes are weekday-oriented; Sunday coverage is a primary time-gap for local riders.

### Geographic / modal gaps (high & medium)

- **Belchertown** [medium]: present=['pvta']; Single-provider coverage — limited modal alternatives.

## 6. Suggested corridors to add / strengthen service

- **Greenfield ↔ Northampton ↔ Springfield** (high): North-south Pioneer Valley spine; sparse Sunday local service north of Northampton.
- **Amherst / UMass ↔ Worcester** (medium): Limited direct local options; intercity (Peter Pan historical / Greyhound) may be infrequent.
- **Pittsfield ↔ Springfield (Berkshires link)** (medium): Link413 / Greyhound thin; time gaps evenings and Sundays.
- **Holyoke ↔ Chicopee ↔ Springfield inner ring** (medium): PVTA dense weekdays; verify late-night and Sunday headways for shift workers.
- **Rural Quaboag / Belchertown ↔ Amherst** (high): Remote/rural stops often longer headways; few intercity alternatives.

## 8. Caveats

- Peter Pan public GTFS from Trillium may be **expired**; do not treat as live schedule without verification.
- Greyhound coverage is filtered from the national Flix/Greyhound US feed to a New England stop bounding box.
- Headways are median gaps between first-stop departures across trips (approximation), not published timetable headways.
- Chatwoot / Docker / nginx on this host were not modified.
