<br/><br/> In Public Transportation companies the scheduling of bus  drivers is one of the most costly and time consuming problems to  be solved. Its solution consists of two main phases : first the  list of duties needed to satisfy the daily service requirement is  prepared ; then allocate or sequence these duties over a planning  period to make the work plans for individual drivers. A computer  program is written to solve this problem on the microcomputer.  For the first phase, three methods have been proposed. These  are (1) mathematical programming method ; (2) improvement of the  manual scheduling method and (3 ) integration of method 1 and  method 2. The solutions from these three methods are different  and it seems that method 3 is most appropriate for the case of  the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority.  The second phase is a problem  for drivers in a given time horizon,  even distribution of the revenue  dayoff constraint. This problem is  assignment problem.
