Providing Optimal Pricing Model for Urban Bus Services (Tehran Case Study)
Authors
Abstract:
Utilities and services can be divided into two types of public and private goods in terms of the nature of pricing. Urban bus services are pure private goods that have positive externality. The Mohering effect is one of the most important externality of bus services, which in fact justifies the philosophy and nature of subsidies by the municipality and the government. In this study, monetary calculation models of Mohering effect was explained and an optimal pricing model is provided for urban bus services. The results show that the optimal pricing model differs sharply from the Tehran Municipality bus ticket pricing policy.The empirical estimation of the model also shows the large difference between the current prices and the subsidy payment with the optimal values extracted from the proposed model.

In this paper, a multi-perspective decision support system (MP-DSS) to design hierarchical public transportation network is developed. Since this problem depends on different perspectives, MP-DSS consists of two sub-systems with macro and micro sub-systems based on travel information, land use and expert knowledge. In the micro sub-system, two sub-modules are developed considering o...

Litigants are generally charged for using court services. The charges involved are usually set to achieve a combination of efficiency, equity and funding goals. This paper presents a simple model, based on regulated monopoly pricing, to address the question of how these charges should be set. We find that fixed fees generally form part of the optimal charging package, despite concerns about the...

Considering the high costs of the implementation and maintenance of gas distribution networks in urban areas, optimal design of such networks is vital. Today, urban gas networks are implemented within a tree structure. These networks receive gas from City Gate Stations (CGS) and deliver it to the consumers. This study presents a comprehensive model based on Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (...
