This paper aims to present a method to design the timetable for public transport (PT) vehicle along a corridor when travelers differ in the time at which they prefer to start trip and the schedule delay cost they incur from traveling earlier or later than desired. The problem of minimizing the total schedule costs is modeled with the assumption that distribution of Destination Target time (DTT) is continuous and schedule delay cost parameters vary among different origins and destinations. The first-order optimality conditions are identified. An explicit solution is derived when DTT's are uniformly distributed in the population over part of the day.
