How do determine the distance between bus stops?
Release date : 10 Jun 2022

There is a certain amount of attention to the spacing of bus stops. If the spacing is small, it is convenient for citizens to commute to get off work and reduce the distance between getting off and walking, but it increases the cost; if the spacing is large, it increases the walking distance and increases the burden. But it can save a certain cost, in short, there are pros and cons. So how to set the distance between the two?

1. According to the flow of people

The urban area is densely populated and the flow of people is large. When setting up bus stops in the urban area, the spacing should be appropriately narrowed. Too large or too small spacing will affect the passenger experience.

2. According to the distribution of attractions

Attractions usually increase the flow of people during the holidays, generally sparsely populated and the flow of people is small. Therefore, the distance between bus stops will be appropriately increased. However, each scenic spot cannot be generalized, and it is set according to the actual situation.

3. According to the station distribution

Railway stations and bus stations are generally not built in the city center, and they will be relatively remote. In these places, the distance between bus stops is relatively large, but generally, bus stops are set not far from the exit.

The distance between bus stops cannot be expressed in accurate numbers, and it follows the principle of small spacing between bus shelters with large traffic and large spacing between bus shelters with small traffic.
