“…As a disadvantage of the routeing system in many large cities, unplanned stops in public transport are noted. Elhabiby studied the impact of such stops on the quality of service in the city of Cairo and developed a comprehensive plan to ensure the use of GPS data loggers and bus tracking [8]. The location of scheduled and unscheduled stops, speed, and travel time were taken as primary indicators.…”

Traffic flows are subject to certain delays due to the maneuvering of buses entering and leaving the stop. The study of how these delays change depending on the frequency of arrival of buses to a stop and, the change of lanes on the road, the intensity of the traffic flow on the road is important in organizing traffic and planning the movement of buses along the route. The article uses simulation models built in the PTV VISSIM program to estimate the delay time of the traffic flow on 2, 3, and 4 lane roads for 4 different values of the intensity of the traffic flow and 5 different values of the bus arrival frequency at the stop. The results obtained are analyzed. The changing nature of traffic flow delays in various scenarios has been studied.

“…One way to reduce the minibus transit time due to unscheduled random stops is to devise the means of minimizing the recurring stops and dwell time during the stop. This would eventually improve the system efficiency and reliability to a large extent [19]. In order to devise an approach towards minimizing the problems associated with the minibus public transport system in our cities, especially, those relating to unscheduled stops and dwell times; it is desirable to explore the current operating characteristics of the system and equally evaluate the influence of these variables on the transit time.…”

Minibus has been one of the modes of public transport in Nigerian cities. Despite its positive impact on urban mobility demand, it is however, associated with some problems which make its service ineffective. This study explores the operating characteristics of minibus public transport in Kano metropolis. It also examines the influence of unscheduled random stops and dwell times of minibus on passengers' transit time. Data were collected on the number of random stop, dwell time per stop, and travel time from route’s origin to destination using an in-vehicle observation technique. Four major routes on which minibuses operate were used for the study. Finding from this study revealed that minibus public transport in Kano city is characterized by recurring unscheduled random stops and long dwell time. Across the routes studied, the total number of unscheduled stops ranges from 18 to 23 per trip while the cumulative dwell time per trip constitutes 40 to 60% of the transit time leading to increase in overall passenger’s travel time, with attendant delay to the users. A weak correlation exists between the number of unscheduled stops and transit time, indicating a less influence on the transit time. However, a strong correlation exists between dwell time during stops and travel time which is an indication of a substantial influence on transit time. Further analysis revealed that variations of recurring unscheduled stops and dwell times account for about 74% of variability in minibus transit time. Finding from test of significance at α 0.05 revealed pvalues of 0.845 and 7.34E-43 for number of stop and dwell time, respectively. This suggests that the number of stop does not influence the transit time significantly; whereas, the dwell time influences the transit time significantly. This implies that increase in passengers’ transit time is substantially due to the long dwell time during unscheduled random stop rather than the number of stop itself.
