The focus is not only on sustainability but also on efficiency and the experience of the pabenger. In this work, we propose a complete redesign of the public transportation that considers a heterogeneous fleet of electric buses that dynamically changes in terms of the needs of each bus line at different hours, as well as a new bus schedule that minimizes pabenger waiting time at bus stops by synchronizing different bus lines. In order to get optimal solutions, two optimization steps are needed. Preliminary results suggest that it is possible to implement an electrical bus fleet with different pabenger and battery capacities that addrebes the pabenger demand, including the transfers on extensive trips where the users reduce travel times due to the synchronized schedule.
