Abstract: This paper describes the bus network design problem, summarizes the different approaches that have been proposed for its solution and proposes a new approach incorporating some of the positive aspects of prior work. The proposed approach is intended to be easier to implement and less demanding in terms of both data requirements and analytical sophistication than previous methods. An algorithm is presented that can be used to design new bus routes taking account of both passenger and operator interests; however, this algorithm focuses on only a single component of the overall bus operations planning process described in this paper.
