Abstract: The optimal spacing of bus-stops along a local bus-route with nonuniform many to many travel demand is determined. Weak assumptions are made regarding the local street network. The daily demand functions are assumed to vary slowly within a spacing. The analysis is based on continuum approximations and methods of calculus. The probability of a null demand for boarding and alighting a given bus at a given bus-stop is exploited to space stops closer than otherwise.
