Demand/supply equilibrium in designing bus route of small urban area
… bus systems can be characterized by two aspects, supply and demand. As in most systems, the supplier's objective is to minimize the system's total cost yet maximize its attractiveness to the users. The present study applied this concept to a bus system in small urban area by minimizing the total …
