Bus Intersection Major Transit Stops, Spatial Pathway#
Current Analysis Date#
November 05 2025 (Wednesday)
If we are missing data on that date for a particular operator, we will patch in data from the previous three months. Currently patching in:
{'2025-08-20': ['eTrans Schedule', 'Roseville Transit GMV Schedule'],
'2025-09-24': ['San Juan Capistrano Trolley Schedule',
'Culver City Schedule'],
'2025-10-15': ['Yolobus Schedule',
'Go West Schedule',
'Bay Area 511 Angel Island-Tiburon Ferry Schedule',
'El Monte Schedule',
'Nevada County Schedule']}
Analysis Segments and Key Stops#
We use 1,250 meter analysis segments cut from GTFS shapes.
In each segment, we identify the stop with the highest frequency and use it to assign frequency to the segment.
Spatial Intersections#
We use an azimuth (heading) approach to find intersections, segments are considered intersecting if they diverge at a 45-degree angle or greater. Our goal is to identify locations where riders have access to multiple frequent routes that can take them in different directions.
Intersections are colored in red in the map below.
Intersection Buffers and Stop Groups#
We use a 500ft buffer around the spatial intersection to find physical stops associated with the intersection.
We consider all of these physical stops to be Major Transit Stops.
