Sounds like transit scheduling in the SF Bay Area. I forgot how many times I've seen a Caltrain depart just as a matching BART train was arriving in the station, just because they're separate agencies who technically coordinate some schedules, but in practice don't have any system constraints to enforce synchronized transfers.
- wdb 6y agoWhen my sister graduated for her Electroengeering degree there was a fellow who wrote his master thesis about how to efficiently schedule bus lines. If I remember correctly one of the findings was that it would make sense to not let all buses start or finish at a bus/train station. I found that interesting. Maybe I can find it.
- setr 6y agoI don't understand;you're suggesting it would be more efficient to pickup/dropoff at random points in the city? That would just decrease the stop-to-passenger effeciency in favor of passenger-to-walktime, but the optimization should be trying to favor the former?
