Description: An survey of operations planning in public transport systems is presented, with applications from suburban rail and metro systems in India and elsewhere.  We cover timetabling, rolling stock planning and crew planning, with examples of constraint systems, optimization and simulation in these areas.We also present the eigenmodel proposed by Schoebel in 2017 and the example of the integrative software planning tool LinTim, and the efforts of our research group at IIT Bombay in suburban rail and metro systems in India.  A useful framework is the Periodic Event Scheduling Problem (PESP) for some aspects of planning.
