In my city, passengers are transported by buses. The number of routes is very large. Many routes overlap. As a result, the costs of public transport from the city budget are high. The task is to reduce such costs by optimizing the route network. For me, any detailed information about methods for optimizing the route network of public transport is relevant. Where can you find such information?
Optimizing a public transport network involves making changes to the routes, schedules, and infrastructure of the network to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the overall quality of service for passengers. Here are a few strategies that can be used to optimize a public transport network:
It's important to note that the best approach to optimize the public transport network will depend on the specific needs and constraints of the community. Therefore, a thorough analysis of the existing network and a consultation with the community and stakeholders are essential to identify the most appropriate solution.
Dear Md. Humayun Kabir, Thanks for the extended answer. I'm interested in the first strategy: Network redesign: Reviewing and potentially restructuring the existing routes and schedules of the network to improve connectivity, reduce travel times, and reduce costs. Where can I see specific methods with examples of this strategy?
Dear Sergei Azemsha, I can recommend the following state-of-the-art review paper on urban transportation network design problems, including public transportation network and multi-modal network optimization. This paper will help you gain knowledge on decisions to optimize, objectives while optimizing, evaluation methods (e.g., trip assignment models, simulation software), and optimization techniques as well as proper terminology.

Optimizing a public transport network can involve a wide range of factors and considerations, but here are some general steps that can help:
By following these steps, it's possible to create a public transport network that is efficient, sustainable, and meets the needs of the community it serves.@OliverTekyi-Arhin
