Posted by Stephen Bauman on Mon Mar 23 17:05:05 2026, in response to Re: Queens Bus Redesign Results In Slower Speeds, posted by BrooklynBus on Sun Mar 22 15:44:17 2026. I don’t see why frequency would affect the number of stops removed.It depends upon which question is being asked. 1. How many physical bus stops were removed? 2. How many fewer stops are encountered on bus trips? N.B. I was trying to answer two questions: what's the difference in the distance between bus stops; and what's the difference in average bus speed. One way to answer these questions is to consider all bus trips over a typical period (e.g. 1 week). The GTFS spec provides: total trip distance; total trip time duration; total number of stops. Divide trip distance by number of stops to get the average distance between stops. Divide the trip distance by the trip time duration to get the average speed. You chose to use this data to answer another question. That's fine. The only problem is that one has to be careful about which question the calculation answers. :=) |
