| Description | Chapter 15 discussed the attainment of an efcient network of transit routes. This chapter focuses on improving the cost-effectiveness of each single route. Transit planners certainly understand the need to accommodate the observed passenger demand as well as possible. At the same time, however, their efforts are also directed at the minimization of vehicle and driver costs. The trade-off between increasing the passenger's comfort and reducing the cost of the service makes the planner's task cumbersome and complex. The design of short-turn trips is one such trade-off. Ashort-turn trip is initiated beyond the route's departure terminaland/or terminated before its arrival terminal. The possibility of generating short lines opens up an opportunity to further save on vehicles while ensuring that the passenger load on each route segment does not exceed the desired occupancy (load factor).
