Abstract
A mathematical model is developed to analyze the passenger waiting time of an innercity transit station with feeder bus services. Intercity transit system is characterized by its comparatively long headway and fixed schedules. Thus, the behavior of passengers of intercity transit station is significantly different from the behavior of passengers of urban bus systems. If the urban bus system is always considered as a major feeder system for the intercity transit, passenger waiting time and related behaviours of the intercity transit station should be influenced by the reliability of the feeder bus services. The results provide planners with an analytic model for accurately quantifying the relations between passenger waiting time of intercity transit system (e.g., high-speed rail) an the reliability of deeper bus services.
