This study is based on a queueing analysis of BRTS stations across Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Three stations have been chosen, and observations are performed to collect primary data. A two-node queueing model is suitable for each station, with the first node serving as the ticket window and the second as the bus waiting area. Furthermore, there are variations in the number of buses that arrive at each stop. In this study, Numerical analysis is performed for performance measures such as waiting line, number of people in the system, Average waiting time, Utilization rate, etc., of the queueing model. By identifying these critical pressure points, the study can suggest targeted interventions, such as optimizing station design, revising bus schedules, or implementing advanced ticketing technologies to reduce congestion and streamline passenger flow.
