Bus network design and frequency setting, the highest level subproblems in the bus planning process, have long-term impacts on bus network performance. Improving network performance not only improves the attractiveness of public transport and thus ridership, but cost-effectiveness as well because public transport experiences increasing returns to scale. In practice, solution approaches rely heavily on the experience and intuition of human planners, possibly guided by solutions obtained through optimization techniques.
