Bus and other public transit connectivity issues facilitate an understanding of the importance of transit planning in enhancing existing or new transit services. Improving transit connectivity is a vital task in transit operations planning. Passengers may stop using a transit service because of poor connections. Service design criteria always contain postulates to improve routing and scheduling coordination (intra- and interagency transfer centers or points and synchronized or timed transfers). Ostensibly, the lack of well-defined connectivity measures precludes weighing and quantifying the results of any coordination effort. A methodological framework and concepts are provided for quantifying transit connectivity measures. These new measures are applied in a case study of the Auckland, New Zealand, public transit network for possible revisions and changes.
