I have no statistics only anedata. In my old neighborhood in Providence RI bus stops we’re within shouting distance of the next stop. This was infuriating to me and a 2 mile bus ride to downtown could take 30-40 minutes. That is literally slower than my normal walking speed (~4 miles per hour). This duration was generally due to the number of stops not traffic. Maybe I’m a fast walker, but that still seems ridiculous.
