On the 213 and 151 routes in North Cheam there is a bus stop
immediately either side of the A24 on the A2043 Malden Road and Cheam
Common Road.

The two westbound stops are less than 100m apart (haven't measured it
exactly but will do if necessary). *Is this the record?

So, what is the shortest distance between two bus stops?

Buses from Hoe Street Walthamstow that terminate at the Bus Station drop
off by the tube / rail station and then turn into the bus station and
stop to set down at the very first stop. *If that's more than 100 metres
I'd be surprised although I recognise the circumstances are a tad
unusual.

At Elephant & Castle, bus stops V and Z are very close - literally
around the corner from each other - and drawing lines on Google Earth
suggests the edges of the yellow bus stop boxes are less than 80
metres from each other, though these are long bus stops (served by
many frequent routes) so buses will normally travel a bit further than
that. It does however makes perfect sense from an interchange
maximisation point of view - both stops are served by routes 12 and
148.
