The issue isn’t so much the distance between stops but the total distance needed to walk to the route. That is an issue when there are no parallel routes available like on Northern Blvd in Queens, so increasing the distance between stops is now up to 3/4 mile by making the distance between stops every four or five blocks.I realize that doesn’t really answer your question. Another issue is reliability which I am sure is greater in Europe. Here if you miss a bus by walking an extra block or two, you can wait 20 minutes or more extra even if the headway is every ten minutes. Bus stop distances also must factor in the age of the population in the area. When 20 percent of the riders are elderly or use walkers, the distances should not be far apart. |
