Too many bus stops in london?
In message , Helen Deborah
Vecht writes They are only closely spaced when separated by major junctions that are difficult to cross on foot IME. Otherwise, the spacing is closer to 400 metres. I have to say that most of the bus stops around here (SW14) are much closer together than that - 200 metres would probably be average. When catching a bus, one is very grateful for the short walk, but when on the bus one tends to get very irritated that the bus stops so horribly frequently. -- Paul Terry |

The 63 route on Farringdon Road has two stops that can't be more than 15m apart - that's crazy -- u n d e r a c h i e v e r |

The 207 stop spacing is a good example of this. With 17,500 bus stops in the Greater London a rationalisation process would take many years and cost a lot of money.
