Review article

The article considers the issue of planning routes in the system of urban passenger transport (UPT). Principles for the distribution of passenger flows between different UPT routes have been developed. An algorithm is proposed for selecting urban passenger routes for the system including more than one type of transport of various capacity and speed of communication. The previously known method of choosing a rational scheme of bus routes is used as a basis, and it is developed in terms of the order of calculations. The author proposes a method for assessing the optimality of the resulting route network and introduces a new indicator, «the ideal value of the total cost of passenger time».
