The economics and engineering of bus stops: Spacing, design and congestion (2014, background): “On the other hand, when traffic signals are synchronised to facilitate car flow, buses can reduce overall delays by alternating between nearside and farside bus stop locations (TRB, 2003; Vuchic, 2005).”
Estimating Bus Run Times for New Limited-Stop Service Using Archived AVL and APC Data (2010, background): “In terms of limited-stop service stop spacing, stops should be spaced several times greater than local stops (Vuchic, 2005), 800 to 1,600 meters apart (Conlon, et al.”
Making public transport financially sustainable (2011, background): “The potential problems highlighted above are reminiscent of experiences with private provision of public transport in the USA during the last 30 years (Black, 1995; Kim and Wachs, 2006; Richmond, 2001; Sclar and Leone, 2001; Frick et al., 2008; Vuchic, 2005).”
A survey of Demand Responsive Transport in Great Britain (2012, background): “…options typically serve busy urban corridors, thus attracting sufficient numbers of passengers to create a profitable service by being more attractive to users than public transport options by virtue of their being quicker and more comfortable (Adeniji, 1987; Vuchic, 2005, Cervero and Golub, 2007).”
