1 Introduction
Bus layover parking is a place where driver’s park buses between services and may be situated on-street or off-street. The time a bus spends in a layover can vary from a few minutes to approximately an hour depending on the purpose of the layover. A layover may provide facilities for drivers, such as a meal room and toilet.
2 Background
The provision of layover parking is essential in managing on-time running, as well as in managing the cost of service delivery. Layover allows for recovery time between services. In addition, appropriately located layover means that drivers can take their designated breaks close to their last stop and not have to travel back to the depot.
