This paper presents an example application of the linear programming method for solving an optimization task in the field of the urban passenger carriages.

In detail an example is described, in which using MS Excel Solver new urban passenger transport routes are organized and the optimum number of buses

moving on the separate routes, ensuring a minimum total transportation costs, has been found. The task has been solved as a linear programming task,

with defined for the purpose an objective function and constraints.
