    Design of limited-stop services for an urban bus corridor with capacity constraints
    (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010) Leiva, Carola; Carlos Munoz, Juan; Giesen, Ricardo; Larrain, Homero
    In high-demand bus networks, limited-stop services promise benefits for both users and operators, and have proven their attractiveness in systems such as Transmilenio (Bogota, Colombia) and Transantiago (Santiago, Chile). The design of these services involves defining their itinerary, frequency and vehicle size, yet despite the importance of these factors for the network's efficiency, no published works appear to provide the tools for designing high-frequency unscheduled services on an urban bus corridor, minimizing social costs.
