A growing concern for public transit is its inability to shift passenger’s mode from private to publictransport. In order to overcome this problem, a more developed feeder bus network and matched scheduleswill play important roles. The present paper aims to review some of the studies performed on Feeder BusNetwork Design and Scheduling Problem (FNDSP) based on three distinctive parts of the FNDSP setup,namely, problem description, problem characteristics, and solution approaches. The problems consist ofdifferent Sub problems including data preparation, feeder bus network design, route generation, and feederbus scheduling. Subsequently, descriptive analysis and classification of previous works are presented tohighlight the main characteristics and solution methods. Finally, some of the issues and trends for futureresearch are identified. This paper is targeted at dealing with the FNDSP to exhibit strategic and tacticalgoals and also contributes to the unification of the field which might be a useful complement to the fewexisting reviews.
