Abstract

Planning of aa public transport system in an ordered way is the key which offers potential users
a mode of transport. To attract travelers from other modes of transport, sufficiently attractive
overall journey times must be provided, so reducing traffic congestion and obtaining delivered
benefits like road safety and lower atmospheric and noise pollution. The congestion that close with
increasing demand is becoming a part of our lives and it is complicating our lives. Some work is
done to reduce the traffic congestion. If we want to provide an efficient and balanced layout in
public transport system, we must place the right stop at the right places. Hence, we consider some
components like cost, security, noise pollution, etc. In this study, it is aimed to solve a set covering
problem for locating the smallest number possible of bus stops.
