Any benefit to reducing walking distance to bus stops? - eviltoast

Hello! I recently watched a video about busways, and it got me wondering if it would be viable to have a bunch of different bus lines that converge into one corridor. But most cities are small enough to be covered by only a few bus stops, especially as they can be placed relatively far apart. Is there any benefit to placing them closer together and reduce walking distance? Do citizens benefit from a shorter walk to the bus stop?
