Commentary: Lancashire’s £1 Evening and Sunday Bus Fare Extension
Lancashire’s extension of the £1 evening and Sunday bus fare is welcome, but its long-term affordability should be tested through transparent mathematical modelling.
Exploring the intersection of optimization, public transport, and urban sustainability.

Develop an MSCA or Newton postdoctoral fellowship application in transport, logistics or operations research with Dr Yu Jiang at Lancaster University.
A new simulation-based framework searches for traffic-signal plans that balance efficiency, safety, and equity across private cars, buses, and bicycles.

A source-based review of selected public transport decisions, plans and implemented actions during Andy Burnham’s period in office.

How a novel bi-level optimization and Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search (ALNS) framework addresses the emerging challenge of online time slot booking in home healthcare routing.

A new bi-level optimisation and Bayesian framework identifies the full Pareto frontier of regulatory trade-offs between passengers, drivers, platforms, and government in coupled ridesourcing and taxi markets.

Fusing multisource transit data into a unified data pipeline that diagnoses service problems and prescribes evidence-based improvements through stochastic optimisation.

Introducing the Inverse-Square Rule: a mathematical breakthrough that transforms bus timetable optimization, achieving 36-45% cost reductions where traditional solvers fail.

TfL's proposed cuts to routes 19, 38, 259, and 349 reveal a critical gap between operational efficiency and network science. This is not just budgeting—it's a bi-level optimization challenge that demands rigorous mathematical modeling.
