Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to design a model enabling recommendation for the new school transport planning proposals to achieve greater operational efficiency. It is a multi-objective optimization problem which includes minimization of the bus costs and total travel time for all students. The model is based on bus route planning according to changes in school starting times, so the buses can make more than one route.
