Abstract According to the four key factors—the waiting time distribution of transfer passengers, the departure intervals of the feeder bus, departure time of the feeder bus, and the operational reliability of the feeder bus, we put forward a model about transfer passenger average waiting time in accordance with the normal distribution of the transfer passenger arriving time. In the model, the optimal departure time is determined with the differentiation theory in order to minimize the average waiting time. At the same time, the sensitivity analysis is also carried out to determine stability of the optimal departure time. Results indicate that the optimal departure time does not vary with the departure intervals. During the peak hours, impacts of both the average value of the transfer passenger arriving time and its standard deviation from the optimal departure time can be ignored. During the off-peak hours, the variation of the average value can be ignored, while the variation of the standard deviation must be considered. It can be concluded that the optimal departure time of feeder bus is stable during the peak hours.
