        abstract = {The challenges and processes of the mobility transition lead to an increasing interest in the role that
public transit could play in engineering this transition. As of now, the problem of optimising the
accessibility of public transit is done in a non-standardised way, reliant on planners? individual
knowledge and expertise. Nonetheless, this paper presents evidence that the accessibility of bus stops is
correlated with local demographic, spatial and economic factors: specifically, the analysis measures bus
stop accessibility through the use of Voronoi diagrams and relates this measurement to local factors
around the bus stop, such as population density; average home value; average household size; the
percentage of the population with a Dutch background; percentage of rental units; the percentage of
apartments; and the percentage of the population in age groups 15-25 and over 65. The findings of this
study have implications for transit planning practices and public transit research.},
