Transit Fare Arbitrage: Case Study of San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) System

Transit fare arbitrage is the scenario when two or more commuters agree to swap tickets during travel in such a way that total cost is lower than otherwise. Such arbitrage allows pricing inefficiencies to be explored and exploited, leading to improved pricing models. In this paper we discuss the basics of fare arbitrage through an intuitive pricing framework involving population density. We the...

Can private airport competition improve runway pricing? The case of San Francisco Bay area airports

Health cobenefits and transportation-related reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in the San Francisco Bay area.

OBJECTIVES We quantified health benefits of transportation strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE). METHODS Statistics on travel patterns and injuries, physical activity, fine particulate matter, and GHGE in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, were input to a model that calculated the health impacts of walking and bicycling short distances usually traveled by car or driving l...

Effect of population density on the results of the study of water supplies in five California counties.

Two previous studies (1969-1971 and 1969-1974) examined the association between cancer incidence and chrysotile asbestos ingested through drinking water in the San Francisco-Oakland Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA). Population density, an important covariable in the association between cancer and environmental agents, was not included in the analyses of these studies. The present w...

A UNIFIED MIXED LOGIT FRAMEWORK FOR MODELING REVEALED AND STATED PREFERENCES: FORMULATION AND APPLICATION TO CONGESTION PRICING ANALYSIS IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA by

This report formulates and applies a unified mixed-logit framework for joint analysis of revealed and stated preference data that accommodates a flexible competition pattern across alternatives, scale difference in the revealed and stated choice contexts, heterogeneity across individuals in the intrinsic preferences for alternatives, heterogeneity across individuals in the responsiveness to lev...
