Criteria considered are selected using two main perspectives; serving places with high trip generation rates and promoting Public Transport. The new developed methodology introduces firstly, Transit Suitability Tool that creates transit suitability map [TSM]. Secondly, roads network model that enables routing according to shortest or optimized path based on cells{u2019} cost of TSM UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
