Testing a feeder change before implementation

0.0 / 16 s

In one sentence

Both cases sit side by side in the same workspace.

Why it matters

What if feeder 2 is withdrawn? In case A neighbourhood 2 rides feeder 2 to the hub; in case B the route is withdrawn and travellers re-route — some walk to the trunk, some move to feeder 1, a few leave public transport. Higher trunk load, longer waiting at the feeder-1 stop, longer walking access and more transfers become visible before anything is implemented.

A network is more than its total demand: where the vehicle fills, where people wait, where a feeder change shifts transfers. Reading a line stop by stop, from one simulation run, is the difference between a forecast and a planning tool.
