        abstract = {An efficient transit planning system must include bus route evaluation as it offers crucial information for important operational choices. These might involve removing a route, combining routes, or adding new routes in order to improve overall service effectiveness. The goal of this research is to identify current issues and problems with bus route operations so that well-informed decisions can be made for improvement. Since route performance significantly influences the effectiveness of bus transportation, there is a need for a robust model to assess route efficiency comprehensively. Multiple factors—both quantitative (for example, the distance between bus stops, fuel usage, and timeliness) and qualitative (including road conditions, safety, and passenger comfort)—impact route performance. The study suggests using a Multifaceted Decision-Maker (MCDM) approach to account for this difficult evaluation. The Analytical Hierarchy process (AHP) is specifically used because it successfully combines qualitative and quantitative criteria. For the purpose of analysis, five bus routes from the Ahmedabad Municipal Transport Service (AMTS), out of a total of 308 routes, were selected. The developed AHP-based evaluation model successfully ranked these routes from best to worst, offering a structured and objective assessment of their operational performance.},
