THE RÉSEAULUTIONS APPROACH

The Réseaulutions approach to bus network problem solving involves a range of processes. First is a thorough assessment of the current network. Various network options are then prepared. The objective is to achieve a balance between resources and usage that best meets client aspirations.

The preferred client option may require further development before submission as a turnkey report. This final report will include all the necessary information for implementation - from routes to timetables to driver duties. An assessment of the likely usage and financial impact of the proposed network is part of this process.
