Abstract
This paper discusses a method used for organizing a network of urban express bus services to cater for travel to work in a number of medium-sized Soviet cities. The method provides a chain of linked bus runs to service a matrix of passenger demands which vary over time. The experience of installing such a network of express bus works services in the city of Chimkent is described. Passenger travel times were reduced by some 30%, while the express services consumed 30–40% less fuel than the equivalent stopping services.
