Abstract Due to different factors such as the growth of urban populations and the congestion of urban roads caused by a constant increase of the number of cars in many cities in the world, public urban transportation has become an indispensable transportation mode. This explains the need for efficient methods for the design and the planning of attractive modern public transportation services. An important elementary step towards the achievement of such a goal consists of evaluating the performance of any given transit network by solving the associated passenger assignment problem. Such a problem consists of modelling the passenger travel behaviour in order to identify the paths used and deduce the transit line volumes, given that origin-destination travel demands, transit line routes’ configuration (sets of consecutive served stops), and transit line parameters (capacities, frequencies and headway distributions) are known. Over the past four decades, a variety of assignment models have been proposed. The development of an assignment model is either implicitly or explicitly based on several assumptions regarding various factors such as the following:
