We use complex network concepts to analyze statistical properties of urban public transport networks (PTN). To this end, we present a comprehensive survey of the statistical properties of PTNs based on the data of fourteen cities of so far…
We analyze the public transport networks (PTNs) of a number of major cities of the world. While the primary network topology is defined by a set of routes each servicing an ordered series of given stations, a number of different…
Public transport routes sharing the same grid of streets and tracks are often found to proceed in parallel along shorter or longer sequences of stations. Similar phenomena are observed in other networks built with space consuming links such…
