Abstract
Reorganizing bus frequencies to cater for the actual travel demands can significantly save the cost of the public transport system. Many, if not all, previous studies formulate this as a bus frequency optimization problem that tries to minimize passengers' average waiting time. On the other hand, many investigations have confirmed that the user satisfaction drops faster as the waiting time increases. Consequently, this paper studies the bus frequency optimization problem considering the user satisfaction. Specifically, for the first time to our best knowledge, we study how to schedule the buses such that the total number of passengers who could receive their bus services within the waiting t..
