Abstract: We analyse the city buses time headway distribution and compare to the real time headway measurements. Since experimental data shows neither a smooth nor a random distribution, a mean--field theory with effects of traffic lights is developed to explain the peculiarity. It is shown that a smooth distribution can be modified significantly by the operation of traffic lights, and matches the experimental data characteristics well. It is therefor concluded that the posted time headway is of not much help for the passengers expecting the next bus at the bus stop.
Keywords: Bus schedule; Time headway distribution; Traffic lights.
