financial contributions from the public, and coordination between millions of passengers and …

The economics and engineering of bus stops: Spacing, design and congestion

A Tirachini - Transportation research part A: policy and practice, 2014 - Elsevier
This paper re-considers the problem of choosing the number of bus stops along urban
routes, first by estimating the probability of stopping in low demand markets, and second by …

Crowding in public transport systems: effects on users, operation and implications for the estimation of demand

A Tirachini, DA Hensher, JM Rose - … research part A: policy and practice, 2013 - Elsevier
The effects of high passenger density at bus stops, at rail stations, inside buses and trains
are diverse. This paper examines the multiple dimensions of passenger crowding related to …

Multimodal pricing and optimal design of urban public transport: The interplay between traffic congestion and bus crowding

A Tirachini, DA Hensher, JM Rose - Transportation research part b …, 2014 - Elsevier
The interplay between congestion and crowding externalities in the design of urban bus
systems is identified and analysed. A multimodal social welfare maximisation model with …

The economics of automated public transport: Effects on operator cost, travel time, fare and subsidy

A Tirachini, C Antoniou - Economics of Transportation, 2020 - Elsevier
It is currently unknown in which city environments, automated vehicles could be deployed at
reasonable speeds, given safety concerns. We analytically and numerically assess the …

Efficiency and substitutability of transit subsidies and other urban transport policies

LJ Basso, HE Silva - American Economic Journal: Economic Policy, 2014 - aeaweb.org

Comparing operator and users costs of light rail, heavy rail and bus rapid transit over a radial public transport network

A Tirachini, DA Hensher, SR Jara-Díaz - Research in transportation …, 2010 - Elsevier
A model to compare three alternative forms of public transport–light rail, heavy rail and bus
rapid transit-is developed for an urban network with radial lines emanating from the borders …

Optimal fleet size for a shared demand-responsive transport system with human-driven vs automated vehicles: A total cost minimization approach

AM Militão, A Tirachini - Transportation research part A: policy and practice, 2021 - Elsevier
Vehicle automation is expected to reduce the cost of shared demand-responsive transport
(DRT) services. In this context, questions regarding the conditions under which fixed-route …
