The costs of transportation in Santiago de Chile: analysis and policy implications

Christopher Zegras

Transport Policy, 1998, vol. 5, issue 1, 9-21

Abstract: In an attempt to better understand the current transportation situation in Santiago de Chile, this paper provides a framework within which personal expenditures, environmental consequences and social effects can be measured by a common metric, costs. The analysis includes all modes of transport, but has a specific focus on passenger transport modes. The paper presents the cost categories considered and methodologies and assumptions used in deriving the costs, a summary of the total magnitude of costs, a differentiation of internal and external costs, and a cost comparison according to various travel modes. The paper concludes with a brief analysis of the implications of the results for evaluating transport policy and pricing options.
