"For those complaining about the title: It is a direct quote from Al Gore in response to a reporter's question. I'm sure he would have articulated himself better in writing. Anyway, does this help?

"Vote against them, yes, but a primary campaign against a Republican based on opposition to a policy that is unpopular with Republicans won't get very far. We should just vote the Republicans out. Whether Democrats or Independents take their seats, I don't care."

However the way you've got it laid out makes no god damn sense. Let me give you an example. Let's say we are trying to connect three high-traffic locations; A,B,C. Let's also assume that the route from A-C is essentially linear and passes through B. A simple and obvious solution - the bus goes from A to C and back again. Ok, what if you want to get from C to D, or E, or X. Easy, you first go from A to C, then board another bus going to the 2nd location. Easy, that is, if you have the LEAST HINT OF A FUCKING CLUE.
