“…This is in consistent with local level studies like [6, 7, 10] in which authors presented that the far‐side bus stops are generally preferable than the near‐side bus stops. It is also a confirmation for the results presented by Johari et al [34] which discussed the near‐side and far‐side bus stops at the network level using a toy grid network. Now, let us discuss the potential explanation of the presented outputs in our study.…”

“…bus stops that need to be located near to the intersections) might result in a better performance of the network. The observed results are in consistent with the local level studies in both cases: the bus stop location [6, 7, 10, 14] and berth number [17, 18]. The output about the effects of the far‐side bus stops on the network performance confirms the presented results by Johari et al [34] which was carried out for a toy grid network. Also, the proposed method and results can provide useful insights for practitioners and the organisations which aim to examine the performance of the public transport system and its effects on the network performance.…”

“…Later, Castrillon and Laval [33] showed that the moving bottleneck effect and the capacity reduction are the major effects of buses on the NMFD of a corridor. Recently, Johari et al [34] showed via simulation data that the far‐side bus stops might results in a bigger critical density range in comparison to the near‐side bus stops at the network level.…”

The effects of operational characteristics of the public transport system on the performance of the urban network traffic flow and the public transport system have been widely investigated at the local level. However, to the best of authors' knowledge there is no attempt to investigate these characteristics at the network level. This study bridges this gap through the notion of network macroscopic fundamental diagram (NMFD). In particular, the effects of the bus stop location (i.e. far-side and nearside) and berth number are discussed at the network level through simulating different scenarios in the central business district (CBD) of the city of Christchurch, New Zealand. In consistent with the local level studies, the outputs show that the far-side bus stops result in better network performance (i.e. larger capacity and critical density range) and a lower median for the network average delay of car traffic. The nearside bus stops instead lead to a lower median for the public transport system. The results reveal that increasing the berth number improves the network capacity and median of the network average delay for both modes. Finally, the impacts of the combination of the far-side and nearside bus stop on network performance have been discussed.
