Staggered Bus Stops

0 Comments

Main article: Bus Stops

Staggered bus stops are commonly found in the city, along roads which experience high volumes of vehicular and human traffic. They help disperse traffic by grouping bus services which are heading towards a similar general direction. By separating route groups and allocating separate bus stops for each group, commuters can be spread out into different bus stops while still having multiple bus services to their destinations.

Not all bus services are staggered at bus stops. Sometimes, regular bus routes call at staggered stops not allocated to their route group because they are unable to call at the subsequent stop (Hill Street has a number of cases).
