Workshop 7 report: Market initiative: Regulatory design, implementation and performance

John Preston and Didier van de Velde

Research in Transportation Economics, 2016, vol. 59, issue C, 343-348

Abstract: This workshop reviewed recent good and bad practice with respect to market initiatives in public transport, with consideration of express coach, rail, local bus and unconventional modes. The options for market-led initiatives, and the associated regulatory requirements, were re-assessed with a new model posited, inspired by the ski-lift industry. It is recommended that more pro-active development (by operators, authorities and third parties) of new measures is required, particularly to permit service coordination and fare, ticketing and information integration.
