Bus Stop Spacings Statistics: Theory and Evidence

Methodology 2023-08-07 v2 Physics and Society

Abstract

Transit agencies have been removing a large number of bus stops, but discussions around the bus stop spacings exhibit a lack of clarity and data for comparison. This paper proposes new terminology and concepts for statistical consideration of stop spacings, and introduces a python package and open-source database which uses General Transit Feed Specification data to derive real-world stop spacing distributions
