Overview

Randomized trial evaluates accessibility of bus stops in Addis Ababa, highlighting significant spatial inequities.

Key Points

  • The research aims to optimize bus stop locations to improve accessibility and passenger satisfaction in Addis Ababa.
  • Analyzed passenger satisfaction surveys from 161 individuals,
  • Calculated a Combined Accessibility Index (CAI) based on spatial factors,
  • Developed an optimization model for bus stop locations using CAI and mandated spacing standards.
  • Over 40% of bus stops exceeded the 800-meter spacing standard, creating service gaps.
  • Population served was identified as the strongest predictor of accessibility (p<0.05).
  • Proposals included retaining, relocating, adding, and eliminating specific bus stops to enhance equity and coverage.
