Bus route stakeholder map
A bus route stakeholder map lays out the relationships behind a new or changed service. The transit agency turns policy and funding into a route plan, while the city transport department may approve the proposal. Operations teams and the drivers union need to agree on schedules and layovers. Riders, schools and businesses supply evidence about where stops and frequency are needed. Disability advocates help test whether the route and stops work for passengers with access needs. These are not all the same kind of stakeholder: some decide, some deliver and some experience the service. By labelling each connection, a planning team can see whether it needs an approval, a demand study, a site decision or a consultation meeting. Update the map when the route alignment, operating plan or affected neighborhoods change.

Scenario
A transit agency is designing a new route that serves schools, shops and residential neighborhoods.
Key decisions
- Service approval: Show the city department's route decision separately from operations planning.
- Rider needs: Include stop requests, school demand and accessibility review as different inputs.
- Workforce impact: Map scheduling and layover concerns with the drivers union before service starts.
When to reuse this
Use this map when transport changes need both operational coordination and public input.
