Title: NONMOTORIZED TRANSPORT CHOICE MODEL AND THE EFFECT OF LOWER BUS FARES ON DIFFERENT INCOME GROUPS
Accession Number: 00637906
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Government expenditures in the transport sector are usually discussed as though they were neutral with respect to the benefits they provide to various income groups. A choice model for alternative transport modes, including nonmotorized vehicles, is presented, with emphasis on the relationship between income levels and relative prices. The derivation of the model, based on individual preferences, is described in detail, and its application to aggregate data is made explicit. The application is for passenger trips to work in four cities in Indonesia in the early 1980s. The scenario whereby the government intervenes in the provision of public transport services, for example, by subsidizing bus fares, is simulated, and shows the sensitivity of each income group, in the short run, to such an exogenous shock.
