Density of population is one criterion that is directly proportional to the number of bus stops. There is mutual benefit for both transport corporation and the commuters by increasing the stops in terms of pecuniary benefit for the former and comforts for the latter covering large population. The unnecessary loss in time due to extra stops is issue to contemplate upon and make analysis.
In a developing country like India every advancement depends upon the funds available. This influencing factor is considered as there is huge need of finance for the development of infrastructure such as laying of good ,strong roads. The road grade is essential for having bus routes in a particular area. It is not possible to have bus stops in the interior where the grade is poorer. The density of population and the infrastructure go hand in hand, this is the reason for having many bus stops in close proximity in the main roads.
While considering the financial status of the government it is also necessary to consider the status of the public. In a higher middle income, higher income groups the dependency on the public transit sytem is less making it less imperative to have more bus stops . Conversely the lower income group and the economically weaker section entirely depends upon the corporation buses for their transit.
Finally the locations are graded based on the risk factors. The sites selected should not be near the junctions. Dangerous turnings are avoided. Any positioning that will hider the normal flow of traffic is avoided.
The factors listed above are not the final list, there are still many more conditions that could be considered, depending upon which the study will be near perfection
