Abstract

The aim of the paper is to prepare time - tables for the bus  networks under the special conditions of urban areas (El-Mansoura  city as example). The time-table optimization presented herein is  based on the minimization of bus units. The paper de scribes a  computer program (in case of great bus networks, computer program  using Turbo - Pascal can be used for saving time). The practical  applications of this program lead s to good results. This program  can also be applied for other public transport networks in urban  areas.
