This paper presents a new graph theoretic framework for the passenger assignment problem that encompasses simultaneously the departure time and the route choice. The implicit first in first out access to transit lines is taken into account by the concept of available capacity. This notion of flow priority has not been considered explicitly in previous models. A traffic equilibrium model is described and a computational procedure based on asymmetric boarding penalty functions is suggested.
