Bus routes overlapping would lead to more than one bus entering the stop simultaneously, which may trigger bus bunching. Focusing on high frequency routes with common stops, this paper proposes a mixed scheduling method combining the all-stop service and the stop-skipping service. The method optimizes scheduling strategies for multiple routes by minimizing total passenger travel time. The optimization variables are binary variables reflecting whether the stops in the overlapping area are skipped. Three exciting bus routes are employed for case study. Results show that the proposed method reduces total passenger travel time by 21.4% compared with the current scheduling strategy.
