Optimal Allocation of Buses to Routes Using Linear Programming as a Tool in a Transport Service Authority: A Case Study of Kano State Transport Authority, Nigeria

In this paper, new profit maximization for Kano State transport authority resulting from optimal allocation of buses to inter-state routes is considered taking into consideration all the constraints associated. The problem was modeled using linear programming and TORA (a software solving problems) used obtained solution problem. maximum objective value ₦2,203,900.00 daily after 16 iterations a better result when compared current traditional or intuitive schedule by that yielded ₦2,036,000.00 daily. This recommended will yield additional ₦167,900.00 over ₦5,000,000.00 monthly implemented.
