Abstract
The travel time and interval of vehicles are sensitive in the urban public transport system. Even though the scheduled frequencies are fixed, actual frequencies may fluctuate heavily. Based on the theory of reliability and the trip chain of public transit, the paper researched the traveling time of buses and the waiting time that passengers spend on stops from the viewpoint of the passengers. The models of travel time reliability and waiting time reliability of transit have been established. Finally, the time reliability of transit during evening peak hours has been analyzed and calculated using data of the Beijing public transit system.
