Answer:

Optimisation Problem

Explanation:

Optimisation Problem is a mathematical economics, computer science problem - which finds the best solution from all feasible solutions (based on constraints & other aspects).

The problem might be in form of maximisation or minimisation. The bus system designing is based on minimizing walking distance. Thus is an optimisation problem.
