Designing Bus Network by Combination of Lines and Routes (Case study of Qom)

One of the defects of bus systems in Iran is that the lines are designed like subway systems and prevents cities to use bus line , s flexiblity. In this study, bus network of Qom would be redesigned by using inovative way. In this method the lines would be designed by combining lines and routes. Then new bus lines were modeled in TransCad software. Analysing of outputs shows that parametrs like attracting travelers, travel speeds had been enhanced and travel time decreased significantly.
