This article presents a mathematical model and a two-phase heuristic for the location of a rapid transit alignment in an urban setting. This method can be viewed as a building block for the multi-line network design problem. Computational results on randomly generated instances and on some Milan real data confirm the efficiency of the proposed approach.
