[3 marks]Describe Transit Bus Routing problem.
[4 marks]Abus route on a city street is scheduled for 2 min headways. On the average 10 pass/bus board at a particular stop and 8 passengers alight. All boarding passengers use the front door, and all alighting passengers use the back door. Fare collection is exact fare and fare-box, but not single coin. Assume clearance time is 16 sec, reductive factor 0.4 and that the maximum allowable probability of bus queuing is 1%. The stop is near side stop at an intersection with a g/Cratio of 0.5. How many berths are required?
