Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to stimulate interest in the issue of organising data to assist in the planning of bus routes. In particular, we are interested in how to expand the range of bus routes efficiently, how to make existing route patterns more effective and how bus routes inter-relate with rail-based public transport. This paper presents a simple spreadsheet model for route planning and demonstrates how it can be used to assist in bus route planning decisions.
