Study: It's Easier to Wait for Transit in a Nice Place

"A new study published by the Transportation Research Board finds transit riders perceive waiting times to be longer if they’re at a stop with heavy traffic and high levels of pollution," according to an article.

Schmitt shares a post by blogger Tim Kovach, who analyzes the study relative to a recent decision by the city of Cleveland to remove bus routes from the recently redesigned Public Square. Kovach also provides additional insight into the findings of the study.

David Levinson, one of the authors of the report, also shared some of the study's findings about the user experience of transit stops, excerpting a passage and a graph from the study. The study is available on the University of Minnesota Digital Conservancy website.
