Abstract
This research deals with a public transport network design methodology that accounts for reliability and robustness of urban public transport service networks by considering impacts of stochastic events on networks. The study shows the role of infrastructures such as bypasses to improve public transport network robustness. This methodology is applied in a case study: the tram network in city of The Hague. Results show a sensible improvement in network connectivity reliability as well as travel costs.
