This chapter focuses on network design methodologies applied to problems arising at the strategic and tactical planning of public transportation systems, including both urban and intercity services. The main problems discussed are the design of bus, rail and metro networks, which involve making decisions over links or groups of links from a given underlying network. In general terms, the resulting network should take into account the interests of different stakeholders, namely, the ones who perceive the cost of traveling across the network and those who perceive the cost of building the infrastructure and operating the services over it. We present several mathematical formulations, including aspects like passenger behavior, multiple objectives and multiple levels of decisions. Then, we present an overview of solution approaches covering both exact and heuristic methods and considering several sub-problems like route generation, route selection and route set generation and improvement. Finally, bibliographical notes and conclusions are provided.
