This paper studies the effects of pre-trip information on route-choice decisions when travel conditions on two alternative congestible routes vary unpredictably. It presents and discusses an experiment designed to test a model recently proposed in a companion paper by Lindsey et al. (2013). That...

The interplay between congestion and crowding externalities in the design of urban bus systems is identified and … choose between travelling by bus, car or walking in a transport corridor. Optimisation variables are bus fare, congestion … that optimal bus frequency results from a trade-off between the level of congestion inside buses, i.e., passengers …

We analyze the behavior of market participants in a multi-modal commuter network, where roads are not priced, but public transport has a usage fee, which is set while taking the effects on the roads into account. In particular, we analyze the difference between markets with a monopolistic public...

This paper discusses the formulation of crowding in public transport and its implications for pricing, seating capacity and optimal scheduling. An analytical model is used to describe the user equilibrium and the optimal equilibrium for different stylized conditions. For the one OD pair case...
