contents Transit networks often have existing infrastructure that cannot be modified when designing new lines for the network. This paper provides an algorithm to generate a line within a transit network without changing any existing lines or connections between stations. Additionally, a method of analyzing the efficiency of a transit line and network is provided, and used within the algorithm presented. An analysis of the effects of different parameters and objectives on the location of a new line is performed. We find that under most cases, a new line generated improves the overall efficiency of the network, while under certain circumstances, an unsuitable combination of pathfinding algorithm and efficiency evaluation method or an increase in construction and maintenance cost can cause the algorithm to create a less efficient network.
