"Taking a comprehensive approach to two central, closely intertwined themes in the field of transport economics, this illuminating Handbook recognises the critical socioeconomic importance of transport pricing and financing. The expert contributors provide insights into how pricing goes beyond...

Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is widely expected to make sustainable transport choices more attractive. New approaches to ticketing will be a core part of MaaS, both to attract users and fund services. The associated pricing decisions will be a matter of public policy as much as business...

This paper presents an analytic framework to measure the spatial segregation caused by reducing or forbidding the free movement of pedestrians, due to the existence of a highway or other type of transport facility with barriers that prevent pedestrians from crossing it. First, using empirical...

We argue that prevailing technologies for bus fare payment and boarding rules make boarding and alighting time t - usually treated as an exogenous parameter - a relevant decision variable in the optimisation of bus services. We show that diminishing t reduces optimal bus frequency and increases...

A number of studies have shown that in addition to travel time and cost as the common influences on mode, route and departure time choices, travel time variability plays an increasingly important role, especially in the presence of traffic congestion on roads and crowding on public transport....
