Urban transit guidelines yield optimal network characteristics relating to factors such as stop
density, network density, service frequency, and network hierarchy. These guidelines are
typically derived from a simple analytical formulation of the bilevel network design problem.
This optimization problem can be solved analytically only when simplifying assumptions are
made regarding the demand distribution, local constraints, and travel behavior. The primary
objective of this paper is to verify the validity of the assumptions underlying analytically …
