OPTIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN PUBLIC TRANSPORT STOPS

LA DISTANCIA OPTIMA ENTRE PARADAS EN LOS TRANSPORTES PUBLICOS

A theoretical and experimental study is conducted of the optimum distance between public transport stops with a view to reducing to its minimum the total journey time of public transport users. A mathematical model is derived to obtain this distance, which should have economic, sociological and financial repercussions. /TRRL/
