Abstract

The travel time on a bus route where travel is possible in both directions is calculated as a function of density of stops at any given point. The object is to obtain the minimum average travel time with respect to the distribution of stops along the route, given a budget which determines the total number of stops. It is assumed that individual commuters minimize their travel time given a walking and an effective riding speed.
