Abstract

In this era characterized by fast development of urbanization, public transportation problem is one of the main obstacles for people to promote their life satisfaction in China. This paper aims at discussing problems on mass customization public transportation, providing suggestions and consults for its sustainable development and improvement. A mass customization model for public transportation is constructed based on client requirement and cost analysis, and case studies are made to validate route planning results. Results show that mass customization public transportation can make high profit for bus companies and relieve traffic congestion and air contamination.
