Measuring crowding-related comfort in public transport

D Çelebi, Ş İmre - Transportation planning and technology, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
In this paper we focus on the estimation of crowding in public transport–specifically urban
rail systems–and its effect on perceived comfort. It is different from similar studies in the …

Diseconomies of scale and subsidies in urban public transportation

N Coulombel, G Monchambert - Journal of Public Economics, 2023 - Elsevier
Subsidization of urban public transportation systems is often motivated by economies of
scale and second-best considerations such as an underpriced road alternative. We model a …

The economic cost of subway congestion: Estimates from Paris

L Haywood, M Koning, R Prud'Homme - Economics of transportation, 2018 - Elsevier
Related to the increased encouragement of public transport (PT) by policy-makers, over-
