What is the bus waiting time problem? ›

In the waiting-time paradox, if an event occurs at a time that we pick uniformly at random, the average waiting time until the next event is typically larger than half of the inter-event time. The waiting-time paradox is also called the “bus paradox” and the “inspection paradox.”

The shortest is the 1.3-mile B42 route that connects Canarsie, Brooklyn, to a subway station and bus transfer hub. The longest is the S78's 19.5-mile trip across Staten Island with 117 stops. The average route is six miles. The transportation authority spends $565,000 annually to operate the B39.

How fast is a NYC bus? ›

The slowest buses are found in Manhattan, where buses putter along at a paltry 6.28 mph on average. Average bus speeds clock in at 9.08 mph in Queens, 7.81 mph in the Bronx, and 7.29 mph in Brooklyn. Bus speeds appear to decline as population density increases.

The first underground line of the subway opened on October 27, 1904, almost 36 years after the opening of the first elevated line in New York City (which became the IRT Ninth Avenue Line).

As the saying goes, you wait ages for a bus and then two come along at once.

The wait/walk dilemma occurs when waiting for a bus at a bus stop, when the duration of the wait may exceed the time needed to arrive at a destination by another means, especially walking.

Some stops may be designated as "timing points", and if the vehicle is ahead of schedule it will wait there to ensure correct synchronization with the timetable.

If buses come at perfect and regular time intervals, then σT=0 and the waiting time is what we expect: ¯τ=¯T/2. That is if we expect a bus each 15 minutes, I will wait (in average) 7.5 minutes. However, in real world, buses do not arrive at perfect times and then σT>0. Thus, waiting time is always greater than ¯T/2.
