Tariff Planning in Urban Bus Transportation for Pristina

Bashkim Cerkini, Thoma Mitre

Abstract: In this research paper we present the optimization of public urban transport network based on the techniques of applied mathematics and operational research. The efficiency of any public urban transport system can be enhanced by making a new design of urban bus transportation network with tariff zones for the Pristina city. Currently in urban bus transportation network in Pristina, there are no tariff zones and the ticket prices are set up arbitrarily. We will propose two designs of urban bus transportation network with tariff zones for Pristina city. We will find the new fares and will make comparison for operator incomes between two new designs and actual urban bus transportation network in Pristina city.
