Over the years, Urban rail transit operations have changed from a single line slow train to a multiline modern network. The network operations have experienced quantitative as well as qualitative changes, and in this industry, operations management is facing internal and external changes at a rapid pace. Researchers and practitioners have applied many techniques in Transportation sector, for both tactical and operational issues. There still exists a tremendous scope for application of OR techniques to optimize the Metro Operations. By means of this Research paper we have aimed at determining the various techniques used in optimizing metro operations like time tabling and platform assignments. A quantitative approach using the simplex method was used. The resources that we have taken into account include, the unit costs of carrying tools, achieving infrastructure and achieving operation management.
