Transit Part 6: Four Station Hub

As stated earlier, a four station hub will have one station for transfer buses and the other three stations will be used by the other three types of bus routes.


Speaking of the three sides not used by transfer buses, it should be possible to plan for one bus to dock and perform the needed loading and unloading once every 15 minutes.  This would be four buses per hour at each of these three sides, or 12 buses per hour total.  It should also be possible to dock and preform the needed loading and unloading of each transfer bus at least once every 15 minutes, or four times per hour.  By planning for extra Hub Assistants during periods of higher passenger volume, the load and unload time for transfer buses could be kept to about one every 10 minutes, or six times per hour.

Thank you for taking time to read my program.  Obviously, if I didn't believe in my own program, I would not have published it for others to read and ponder on.
