Abstract
The integration of urban and transport planning is strongly supported in the literature, and the transit stop is an element common to both fields. Stops provide accessibility, which can be measured objectively (section 1) or evaluated from the user's perspective (section 2). This paper reads the topic by exploring the factors that influence perceived accessibility in the literature (section 3), with particular attention to the elements included in the domain of urban planning, like places of residence and urban design (section 4). Results (section 5) show some inconsistencies about the role of spatial factors in shaping accessibility perceptions, as well as a lack of relevance of the issue of transit stops. Therefore, some new approaches are suggested to fill the gaps in future research.
