It is widely observed in urban areas that major transit corridors often consist of multiple transit systems (e.g., regular street bus, bus rapid transit (BRT), and rail transit) partly or mostly overlapping along the corridor, on which local and express services are simultaneously provided to all transit patrons. Traditional transit corridor design, however, was mainly focused on single transit technology with particular one type of operation strategy, and consequently provided little guidance for seeking the optimal design of a hybrid transit corridor (in terms of the stop locations and headways, for instance). Targeting at long-term transit planning, this paper adopted the continuum approximation method to model the optimal design of a linear bimodal transit corridor with local and express services. Given the many-to-many demand pattern, patrons’ route choices were explicitly considered among 5 types of route options: (1) express only, (2) local only, (3/4) local/express-transfer- ex
