This paper develops a theoretical mathematical model based on the mean demand of boarding and exiting per unit length along a bus corridor to decrease the travel time of transit travelers. The solution procedure of the proposed model is also presented. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the model, research on a real transit corridor in Foshan City, China was conducted. Analysis of the results shows that the boarding and exiting times were influenced most by the location of bus stops. Arranging bus stops based on equilibrium distribution of passenger flow can minimize the boarding and exiting time.
