The pricing of public transportation services is a complex task that authorities deal with
because many criteria should be considered while deciding on the pricing system. Some …

In rural areas with low demand, demand responsive transport (DRT) can provide an
alternative to the regular public transport bus lines, which are expensive to operate in such …

The welfare level differs in every geography depending on the economy. This also
differentiates the variables that are taken into account when determining transportation …

The goal of this study is to develop and apply a new method for assessing social equity
impacts of distance-based public transit fares. Shifting to a distance-based fare structure can …

This paper proposes a new nonlinear distance-based transit fare structure, which is
measured by a function of the Euclidean distance between the origin and destination …

Transit pricing is one of the major factors influencing transport-related equity. In particular, in
develo** countries with low car-dependency rates, public transit plays an important role in …

Transit ridership is usually sensitive to fares, travel times, waiting times, and access times,
among other factors. Therefore, the elasticities of demand with respect to such factors should …

Sectional fares have been used in transit services in practice but are rarely examined
analytically and compared with flat and distance-based fares, especially under the …

Should transit prices vary with distance? And if so, how? Two arguments that point in
opposing directions have been presented in the literature: long distance users induce larger …

We propose a dynamic fare pricing model based on demand prediction to mitigate peak
hours' congestion in public transportation. To deal with demand uncertainties, we propose …
