Abstract: Abstract The focus of this study is to examine the association between bus transit reliability and the number of boarding passengers at bus-stop level using data obtained from the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) in the city of Charlotte, North Carolina, USA for the year 2017. The on-time performance percentage was computed and used as bus transit reliability at bus-stop level. Two different thresholds were considered to compute the on-time performance measure. The ridership data was processed to compute the average number of boarding passengers per bus at bus-stop level. The findings indicate that the day of the week, time of the day, direction of travel, and the type of bus-stop influence the association between the on-time performance percentage and the average number of boarding passengers per bus.
