Evolving long-distance passenger services. Market concentration, fares and specialisation patterns in Italy

Paolo Beria and Alberto Bertolin

Research in Transportation Economics, 2019, vol. 74, issue C, 77-92

Abstract: Despite its importance, the analysis of long-distance transport dynamics and policies has not reached the same understanding of local transport services. One reason is the market-driven nature with respect to the planning-driven one, which makes the most important planning decisions taken internally to the firms.
