Abstract: This paper studies the solution procedure of a bus transit system with a rectangular service area that had been cited more than two hundred times. We will point out that they applied relations suitable for continuous variables, which are not held for a discrete variable and will result in invalid results. We provide our solution procedure to the same example proposed by the original paper to illustrate that their results are less accurate. Our findings will help researchers understand this kind of bus transit system.
