Abstract
We apply the theory to passenger crowding on vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) public transit systems in which buses or subways become so crowded that they are ordered by a central control to begin a degraded ‘skip-stop’ service. Application of the Data Rate Theorem shows there is no coding or other strategy that can compensate for inadequate service levels that produce passenger crowding of either stops or vehicles.
