Impacts of public transit delays and disruptions on equity seeking groups in Toronto – A time-expanded graph approach J. Transp. Geogr. (IF 5.899) Pub Date : 2023-12-16 Rick Zhaoju Liu, Amer Shalaby
This study employed graph theory techniques to evaluate the global efficiency of Toronto's transit network. Using global efficiency, which measures the ease with which riders could reach their destinations, we explored if disadvantaged riders suffered the same level of travel time delays as the general population during both minor (recurrent) service disturbances and major (non-recurrent) disruptions
