A bus line has stops at every intersection, 200 m apart. The speed of traffic and of the buses except for their stopping at bus stops is 30 km/h, but for every stopping, busses lose a total of ts = 20 seconds. Passengers are uniformly distributed along the line and walk to/from its stops at a speed of Vw = 4.8 km/h. How would a passenger’s travel total time , including access to/from stops and travel on buses, change if
A bus line has stops at every intersection, 200 m apart. The speed of traffic and of the buses except for their stopping at bus stops is 30 km/h, but for every stopping, busses lose a total of ts = 20 seconds. Passengers are uniformly distributed along the line and walk to/from its stops at a speed of Vw = 4.8 km/h. How would a passenger’s travel total time , including access to/from stops and travel on buses, change if every other stop was abandoned, i.e., the spacing between stops was increased from 200 m to 400 m, if the average trip length on the line is(a) 4 km; (b) 6 km; (c) 8 km? For what passenger trip length Lp will the total travel time remain the same?
