Spacing guidelines for bus stops reflect an inherent tradeoff if stops are more closely spaced, passengers will have to walk less to reach a stop, but operating speed will suffer, increasing operating cost and passenger riding time. Interest in improving the speed and efficiency of bus systems, particularly bus rapid transit systems, has increased interest in changing stop spacing. The transit industry is in need of tools to help evaluate the impact of removing, consolidating, and adding stops. The three main impacts of a change in stop spacing are to walking time, riding time, and operating cost. These impacts can be formulated mathematically as functions of the stop spacing and local parameters including passenger boarding and alighting rates, factors that affect ambient traffic speed, and characteristics of the local street network.
