If they are unmarked on the ground, are they documented somewhere? 

Or is it simply a case of "this is a common route a lot of people walk during 
certain times as there is a strong flow of people from A to B and this is the 
most commonly used route"? (In which case they aren't really something that 
exists as an entity of it's own and are only a transient event, though maybe a 
commonly reoccurring one.)

In either case, it doesn't sound like a "walking bus" at all.
