It is necessary and important to operate buses and trams on time. The busschedule is closely related to the dynamic motion of buses. In this part, weintroduce the nonlinear maps for describing the dynamics of shuttle buses inthe transportation system. The complex motion of the buses is explained by thenonlinear-map models. The transportation system of shuttle buses withoutpassing is similar to that of the trams. The transport of elevators is alsosimilar to that of shuttle buses with freely passing. The complex dynamics of asingle bus is described in terms of the piecewise map, the delayed map, theextended circle map and the combined map. The dynamics of a few buses isdescribed by the model of freely passing buses, the model of no passing buses,and the model of increase or decrease of buses. The nonlinear-map models areuseful to make an accurate estimate of the arrival time in the bustransportation.
