| Abstract | One important task in the planning of a rapid transit line is the design of a feeder bus network which will transport transit riders to the new rail stations. A feeder bus system is a network of buses which collect and carry passengers to, or distribute them from, a specified place where they transfer with another transit vehicle. This hub or transfer point is served by several feeder routes, which all feed into a typically faster transit mode. The success of a rail system depends, to a certain extent, on the ability of the feeder buses to provide an easy method for accessing the rail, since not everyone can walk, and parking spaces are often limited. |
