Abstract: Exploratory reinforcement learning (RL) on an operating bus fleet is impractical,while policies trained only from historical data cannot acquire new experience. Hybrid Offline-and-Online (H2O) RL combines fixed target replay with simulator interaction, but the inexpensive online simulator can differ from the target in transition and event-duration dynamics. We study this cross-fidelity problem for multi-line bus holding and address a failure mode in which lower generalized passenger time coexists with incomplete passenger journeys.
