This proceedings volume consists of selected papers presented at the Ninth Int- national Conference on Computer-Aided Scheduling of Public Transport (CASPT 2004), which was held at the Hilton San Diego Resort and Conference Center in San Diego, California, USA, from August 9-11, 2004. The CASPT 2004 conference is the continuation of a series of international workshops and conferences prese- ing recent research and progress in computer-aided scheduling in public transport. Previous workshops and conferences were held in: • Chicago (1975) • Leeds (1980) • Montreal (1983 and 1990) • Hamburg (1987) • Lisbon (1993) • Cambridge, Mass. (1997) 1 • Berlin (2000) 1 While there were no formal proceedings for the ?rst workshop (only pre-prints were d- tributedtoparticipants),thesubsequentworkshopsandconferenceswerewelldocumented: Wren, A.

The scope of this volume centers on advancements in the state of art and the state of the practice in computer-aided systems in public transport. Yet, this volume illustrates a greater breadth of subjects in this area. The common theme remains the use of computer-aided methods and operations research techniques to improve: (1) information management; (2) network and route planning; (3) vehicle and crew scheduling and rostering; (4) vehicle monitoring and management; and, (5) practical experience with scheduling and public transport planning methods. This volume consists of selected papers presented at the Ninth International Conference on Computer-Aided Scheduling of Public Transport.
