Final location-allocation map showing existing and proposed sheltered stops.
Where could sheltered bus stops improve practical access to public transportation?
- Connected census-block centroids and demographic attributes to a pedestrian street network.
- Evaluated origin–destination walking distances and access within a 400-meter threshold.
- Applied a network-ratio method to relate accessible street length to population coverage.
The study proposed a minimum set of 15 sheltered transit stations to improve population coverage along the existing bus routes.
