Question
A bus route has stops at every intersection, 200 m apart. The speed of traffic and of the buses
except for their stopping at bus stops is 30 km/h, but for every stop, buses lose a total of ts=20
seconds. Passengers are uniformly distributed along the route and walk to/from its stops at a speed
of Vw= 4.8 km/h.
a. How would a passenger's total travel time (consider only access to stops and travel on
buses) change if every other stop was abandoned (i.e., the spacing between stops was
increased from 200 m to 400 meters, if the average trip length on the line is: i) 4 km; ii) 6
km; and iii) 8 km?
b. For what passenger trip length Lp will the total travel time remain the same?
