Mittal, K.M., Timme, M. & Schröder, M. Efficient self-organization of informal public transport networks. Nat Commun
Objective:
- Analyze on a global scale the overall structural properties of more than 7000 bus routes, systematically comparing routes emerging in informal transport (mini)bus services with routes of centrally organized line services
Case:
- Global cities
Methodology:
- Efficiency indicator
Data Source
- Bus GPS: OSM
Findings:
- Most bus routs self-organize highly efficiently across regions and independently of the specific geographic or infrastructural features of the cities
