Abstract
This “Bus Routing and Coverage” chapter addresses traveler response to, and related impacts of, conventional bus transit routing alterations. Included are routing changes at both the individual route and system levels, new bus systems and system closures, bus system expansion and retrenchment, increases and decreases in geographic coverage, and routing and coverage changes made together with fare changes. This chapter covers the travel demand and related aspects of most types of service changes to local conventional bus operations, except that headway changes are addressed in Chapter 9, “Transit Scheduling and Frequency.” (Author/publisher)
