Guidelines for the Location and Design of Bus Stops
Author: Texas Transportation InstitutePublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
The primary objective of this research was to develop guidelines for locating and designing bus stops in various operating environments. These guidelines will assist transit agencies, local governments, and other public bodies in locating and designing bus stops that consider bus patrons' convenience, safety, and access to sites as well as safe transit operations and traffic flow. The guidelines include information about locating and designing bus stops and checklists of factors that should be considered.

Negative Binomial Regression
Author: Joseph M. HilbePublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139500066
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 573
Book Description
This second edition of Hilbe's Negative Binomial Regression is a substantial enhancement to the popular first edition. The only text devoted entirely to the negative binomial model and its many variations, nearly every model discussed in the literature is addressed. The theoretical and distributional background of each model is discussed, together with examples of their construction, application, interpretation and evaluation. Complete Stata and R codes are provided throughout the text, with additional code (plus SAS), derivations and data provided on the book's website. Written for the practising researcher, the text begins with an examination of risk and rate ratios, and of the estimating algorithms used to model count data. The book then gives an in-depth analysis of Poisson regression and an evaluation of the meaning and nature of overdispersion, followed by a comprehensive analysis of the negative binomial distribution and of its parameterizations into various models for evaluating count data.
Better Buses, Better Cities

Book Description
"Better Buses, Better Cities is likely the best book ever written on improving bus service in the United States." — Randy Shaw, Beyond Chron "The ultimate roadmap for how to make the bus great again in your city." — Spacing "The definitive volume on how to make bus frequent, fast, reliable, welcoming, and respected..." — Streetsblog Imagine a bus system that is fast, frequent, and reliable—what would that change about your city? Buses can and should be the cornerstone of urban transportation. They offer affordable mobility and can connect citizens with every aspect of their lives. But in the US, they have long been an afterthought in budgeting and planning. With a compelling narrative and actionable steps, Better Buses, Better Cities inspires us to fix the bus. Transit expert Steven Higashide shows us what a successful bus system looks like with real-world stories of reform—such as Houston redrawing its bus network overnight, Boston making room on its streets to put buses first, and Indianapolis winning better bus service on Election Day. Higashide shows how to marshal the public in support of better buses and how new technologies can keep buses on time and make complex transit systems understandable. Higashide argues that better bus systems will create better cities for all citizens. The consequences of subpar transit service fall most heavily on vulnerable members of society. Transit systems should be planned to be inclusive and provide better service for all. These are difficult tasks that require institutional culture shifts; doing all of them requires resilient organizations and transformational leadership. Better bus service is key to making our cities better for all citizens. Better Buses, Better Cities describes how decision-makers, philanthropists, activists, and public agency leaders can work together to make the bus a win in any city.
Design Implication from Public Life Data Around Bus Stations

Book Description
Public space is essential to people’s everyday life. It can improve people’s happiness, health, as well as the prosperity of the region. As people rely more and more on public transit, transit stations bring a significant number of pedestrians to the nearby streets. The public space around them should be designed to be more vibrant for pedestrian travel. If good conditions of the built environment are provided for these pedestrians and transit riders, they will have the chance to participate in more recreational and exciting activities. However, some public spaces around transit stations have not been received adequate design and management attention. This study explores the design implications of public space and activity around transit stations, especially bus stations. The study refers to methods and findings of public life studies conducted by Jan Gehl. The research analyzed public life data of people’s behaviors in the public spaces around representative bus stations in Seattle and speculates on their interactions with the built environment. Compact and continuous building facades, more quality seats, wider sidewalks with comfortable street furniture, and safety facilities along walkways help to create better pedestrian and public transportation experiences. The research findings could help understand what design makes successful public space, especially around public transit stations.
