A cross-city exploratory analysis of the robustness of bus transit networks using open-source data

A robust bus transit network is of fundamental importance for sustainable development by alleviating urban problems. This paper aims to explore the robustness of 57 bus transit networks from the aspect of transferability. Bus transit networks are constructed using open-source data from the same data source for ensuring a consistent comparison, and the network robustness is analyzed using giant component (GC) to represent the maximum scale of...
