Publisher Marketing: This proceedings volume consists of selected papers presented at the Ninth Int- national Conference on Computer-Aided Scheduling of Public Transport (CASPT 2004), which was held at the Hilton San Diego Resort and Conference Center in San Diego, California, USA, from August 9-11, 2004. The CASPT 2004 conference is the continuation of a series of international workshops and conferences prese- ing recent research and progress in computer-aided scheduling in public transport. Previous workshops and conferences were held in: Chicago (1975) Leeds (1980) Montreal (1983 and 1990) Hamburg (1987) Lisbon (1993) Cambridge, Mass. (1997) 1 Berlin (2000) 1 While there were no formal proceedings for the ?rst workshop (only pre-prints were d- tributedtoparticipants), thesubsequentworkshopsandconferenceswerewelldocumented: Wren, A.
