Or stated another way, the average waiting time for a bus is the same, one-half of the route headway, regardless of the amount of time spent walking to any bus stop. Weekday midday headway on route Q22 is ten minutes, and on average I would have to wait 5 minutes for a Q22 bus to arrive, regardless if it takes me one minute to walk from home to the nearest Q22 bus stop, or if takes me twenty minutes to walk from home to the nearest Q22 bus stop. Even if bus headways are not well-maintained, and it takes, on average, 10 minutes for a Q22 bus to arrive, it is the same 10 minutes regardless of the amount of time I spend walking to the closest Q22 bus stop. The probabilities are the same. |
