In a schedule-based capacitated transit network we analyze optimal passenger strategies, where a strategy is a ranked set of services at each interchange in the transit network. The passenger is assumed to take the first ranked service unless this is... Read More about Schedule-based hyperpath approaches to transit assignment: the impact of imperfect information..
