Abstract: A model that is concerned with the analysis of bus operation on a multi-route system has been developed to represent various strategies of bus operators. The results of the modelling exercise show the influence of vehicle size on the operational performance of the route and the whole network.

Keywords: competition; deregulation; headway; monopoly; multi-route systems; network-based models; two-level approach; bus operation; operation analysis; vehicle size; operational performance; buses; modelling; bus operators; operating strategies.
