This paper develops a model to examine how a transport operator who is concerned about both profit and consumer surplus will design a uniform fare scheme and the relationship between fare and travel distance within such a scheme. The paper also analyses how travellers' generalised cost are...

This paper analyses competition between transport firms that have goals that extend beyond traditional profit maximisation. Specifically, operators maximise a weighted combination of profits and consumer surplus. We calculate equilibrium solutions for the case of symmetric firms producing...
