Abstract Identifying the determinants of bus stop ridership an‎d examining how their effects vary across urban space an‎d time are key requirements for effective public transport planning. Global regression models, which assume uniform relationships across a city, often fail to capture the spatial an‎d temporal complexity of deman‎d. This thesis therefore investigates the factors associated with bus stop ridership at the stop level an‎d explores their spatial heterogeneity an‎d temporal variability in Isfahan, Iran. Smart card fare collection (AFC) transactions from a one-week reference period were extracted for 2,119 bus stops an‎d analyzed across four temporal regimes: weekday, morning peak, evening peak, an‎d weekend. Explanatory variables were defined in several main categories—built environment, lan‎d use, road network structure, an‎d service performance indicators—an‎d were computed for each stop within a 400-m network-based catchment area. The analytical framework comprised three steps: (1) assessing the spatial pattern of deman‎d using Moran’s I, (2) estimating OLS, GWR, an‎d MGWR models to examine spatial heterogeneity an‎d scale effects, an‎d (3) applying an interpretable machine learning model with SHAP to rank an‎d compare the key factors across temporal regimes. Spatial autocorrelation analysis indicated a statistically significant clustered pattern of ridership (global Moran’s I = 0.359, p <‎ 0.001). In the modeling stage, MGWR outperformed OLS an‎d GWR in the weekday scenario, achieving an R² of 0.78 an‎d an AICc of 4097.02. SHAP-based rankings showed that the number of serving lines was the most influential factor in all temporal regimes, with importance values of 0.508 on weekdays, 0.328 during the morning peak, 0.311 during the evening peak, an‎d 0.402 on weekends, highlighting the consistent role of route diversity in attracting riders. Employment density an‎d average waiting time ranked next in most regimes, with their relative importance varying over time; notably, average waiting time became more important during the morning peak (0.274). Transport-related facility density an‎d arterial road share also appeared among the next-ranked factors, indicating that network structure an‎d accessibility-oriented lan‎d uses complement operational variables in shaping ridership. Overall, the findings suggest that the drivers of bus deman‎d are neither spatially uniform nor temporally stable. Consequently, effective policy design requires time-sensitive, stop-level interventions that account for spatial differences among bus stops.
