Abstract: Urban transportation contributes significantly to CO2 emissions. Public transport systems are a good strategy to reduce these, but the emissions generated by public transport vehicles should not be neglected during the design of the service. The Transit Network Design and Frequency Setting Problem (TNDFSP) has usually been addressed considering only the passengers’ and the operator's point of view. However, we show it is worthwhile to consider also the emissions already during this planning phase.
