Abstract An approximate analytical model of a rail plus feeder bus system that is serving a peak-period many to one type demand is presented. The underlying highway grid is assumed to be rectangular with the railway parallel to one axis. A simple graphical solution procedure is given for the general case when all the relevant rail/feeder-bus parameters are free. Explicit analytical solutions are given for the lower and upper bounds and for two special cases in which the station locations are pre-determined and the feeder-bus routes are relatively long, respectively. The model is applied to the Calgary (South Corridor) LRT system.
