The route development is based on OD matrix and optimizing by route factors. Some alternatives build to get the optimum route factor and the best route factor is 1.

From the first scenario the total revenue is Rp89,551,827, compare to total cost of Rp206,369,959. There is a loss of revenue, on this condition the differences between cost and revenue, Rp116,818,132 can complete by giving subsidy. The second scenario, resulting fare equal Rp5,548.
