The impact of a financial constraint on the spatial structure of public transport services
Jara-Díaz, Sergio; Gschwender, Antonio; Ortega, Meisy - In: Transportation 41 (2014) 1, pp. 21-36
Using a single line model, it has been shown recently that the presence of a stringent financial constraint induces a less than optimal bus frequency and larger than optimal bus size. This occurs because the constraint induces a reduction of the importance of users’ costs (their time); in the...

A fast algorithm for near cost optimal line plans
Bussieck, Michael R.; Lindner, Thomas; Lübbecke, Marco E. - In: Computational Statistics 59 (2004) 2, pp. 205-220
We consider the design of line plans in public transport at a minimal total cost. Both, linear and nonlinear integer programming are adequate and intuitive modeling approaches for this problem. We present a heuristic variable fixing procedure which builds on problem knowledge from both...

Norwegian experiences with tendered buss services
Bekken, Jon-Terje; Longva, Frode; Fearnley, Nils; … - In: European Transport \ Trasporti Europei (2006) 33, pp. 29-40
Competitive tendering of local public transport services has been allowed in Norway since 1994. By 2005, 28 percent of all route production in Norway was procured on the basis of tendered contracts, covering around 40 percent of all passengers. The majority of the tendered contracts were gross...

Subsidies in public transport
van Goeverden, Cees; Rietveld, Piet; Koelemeijer, Jorine; … - In: European Transport \ Trasporti Europei (2006) 32, pp. 5-25
The pricing of public transport may range from charging the full price to supplying it for free. The present situation in most European countries is between the two extremes implying a partial cost recovery. In this paper we will explore both extremes on the axis of cost recovery: free public...

Impact and effectivity of ‘Free’ Public Transport measures: lessons from the case study of Brussels
Macharis, Cathy; De Witte, Astrid; Steenberghen, Therese; … - In: European Transport \ Trasporti Europei (2006) 32, pp. 26-48
The objective of the paper is to examine and to assess the effects of the introduction of a third payer system on the mobility behaviour from a multidisciplinary viewpoint. This approach allows an analysis of various effects that free public transport and, in general, price policies can entail....
