The problem of scheduling a fleet of buses to a given set of trips is encountered by large bus companies performing thousands of trips per day. The time-tables for those trips are planned separately and reflect the passengers demand for transportation. These time-tables are inputs for the bus scheduling procedures. The scheduling problem is difficult due to its size and due to many operational constraints which are imposed. A mathematical formulation of the problem is presented and an efficient algorithm is developed. This paper presents results and computational experience that were obtained from implementing the model in a large bus company.
