Efficient optimization of schedules in a public transportation system

A system for optimizing public transportation schedules, said system comprising:

• at least one processor, and
• a non-transitory computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, said computer-usable medium capable of communicating with said at least one processor, said computer program code comprising instructions executable by said at least one processor and configured for:
• evaluating shifts from current schedules associated with a public transportation system;
• determining an impact on waiting times based on said evaluating of said shifts from said current schedules;
• and
• optimizing schedules associated with said public transportation system based on said impact on said waiting times.

A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing computer code representing instructions to cause a process for optimizing public transportation schedules, said computer code comprising code to:

• evaluate shifts from current schedules associated with a public transportation system;
• determine an impact on waiting times based on said evaluating of said shifts from said current schedules;
• and
• optimize schedules associated with said public transportation system based on said impact on said waiting times.
