Comment on Ask HN: How close together are your bus stops?

Comments

London also has bus route 389 - the entire route is I think 1.5 miles, with something like a dozen stops

My rough calculations give it 15 stops for 2420m in direction 1 (avg 160m), and 2235m in direction 2 (avg 148m).

Alas, it appears that route 631 has it beat - 1440m in direction 1 (avg 130m), 1751m in direction 2 (avg 134m)

(although, peculiarly, the information in TfL's bus route download doesn't match what you get from the web site when you look up 631.)

Yeah, I got my numbers from `bus-sequences.csv` downloaded from the API site.
