Abstract: This paper will provide guidelines for bus planning operators to develop an efficient and cost-effective Public bus Transportation route and schedule in MATLAB software. The main objective of public transport planning is to optimize the operational cost on the entire network. Then, its profit, level of service and competitiveness can be improved. Bus service scheduling and driver duty scheduling have done in Matlab where scheduling of up to 5000 drivers can be done .This Project will provide guidelines to find the Bus Network Flow Graph for hundreds of Buses. It also Provides the shortest path (Based on Distance, Cost) several through the Entire Network of flow Graph

Keywords: Bus Network Flow Graph, Shortest Path Problem, Network-Model, Vehicle Routing problem (VRP)
