Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) are public transport systems that have gained popularity in the world. The complexity of this type of systems has made necessary to configure strategies based on optimization models for the generation of dispatch frequencies, time tables, and fleet control in real time context. However, most of the works where the developed models are tested, do not consider how the demand is distributed along the available routes. This work shows the impact generated in the load profile of the buses, and the average waiting time for each route during the operation, when the criterion with which the passengers choose the route varies. In a first scenario: The passengers use the service, having only the objective of choosing the fastest route to take them to their destination. In a second scenario, passengers make a prior evaluation before boarding a feasible bus for them. The evaluation consists of taking into account two criteria: the comfort inside the bus and the time that must be waited for the next bus to arrive.
