JUSTIFICATION OF THE CHOICE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICE TYPE ON THE ROUTE
Problem. Currently, there exist two main types of service on public transport routes – headway-based and timetable-based. They differ by the frequency of service at the stops and by the information available for passengers. The required frequency of service significantly affects transport operator c...
