The amount of time spent waiting at a public transport station is a key element in a
passenger's assessment of service quality and in mode choice decisions. Many transport …

The effects of bus line headway, schedule reliability index, and many other potential
predictors on passenger waiting times were investigated. A large amount of waiting time …

A model is developed to evaluate the sensitivity of expected passenger wait time at transit
stops to service frequency and schedule reliability. This model represents an advance over …

This paper presents research on optimizing service reliability of long-headway services in
urban public transport. Setting the driving time, and thus the departure time at stops, is an …

This brief paper derives the marginal social cost of headway for a scheduled service, ie the
cost for users of marginal increases to the time interval between departures. In brief we may …

This paper attempts to clarify some of the probabilistic issues of passenger behaviour at
transit stops. The paper is comprised of two parts. First, the distribution of waiting time is …

Traditional transit service quality measures separate waiting time from service reliability and
thereby underestimate the real cost of waiting and fail to evaluate the effect of unreliability on …

A model of bus and passenger arrivals at a bus stop is proposed. Passengers are
considered to be either random arrivals or non-random arrivals whose time of arrival is …

Transit passengers in many urban areas must deal with overlapping bus routes with some
routes sharing common stops. Such a passenger can decide either to board an arriving bus …

Public transportation is one of the most essential services in urban areas. The average
passenger waiting time at a stop is an important criterion in evaluating the quality of public …
