However, due to limitation on the city's size, the expansion of the road network alone cannot cope with the increasing travel demand in the whole city if a good public transportation network is not established. In this research, the establishment of bus system for Hanoi City (Vietnamese Capital) is investigated. Multinomial logit model is used to represent the behavior of traveler in selection of transport mode and a mathematical model is proposed to solve for finding adequate fare level and frequency of bus. Future requirement on bus share, which is planned by the government, is the only target of this research in the context of a subsidy-minimization program.
