Transit scheduling is the basis of the operation and organization plan of a public transportation enterprise; it is also the core of bus dispatching. In this paper, we will compile the collaborative departure schedule in the bus route of the region to maximize the convenience for passengers. This paper introduces formulation of a regional schedule as a special kind of 0-1 knapsack problem with a special coordination coefficient of no capacity constraint and with the minimum passenger transfer time as the objective. The synergy coefficient is defined, and the corresponding mathematical optimization model is established, which realizes the regional and coordinated development of the public transit timetable. The enterprise can effectively allocate vehicle resources and human resources, in order to lay the foundation to achieve a comprehensive system of regional bus operators.
