| Tiivistelmä: | Season tickets generate two part tariffs or public transport clubs with zero marginal pecuniary cost of transport use for members. A simple model of the welfare gains from travel passes is tested using 26 years old data from four Swiss ci- ties. Pooled and SUR estimates reveal large and robust sea- son ticket effects on transport demand. Quality proxies also have significant effect although data on complementary traffic restraint measures are unavailable. Revenue growth trends were not permanently reduced by the introduction of cheap, transferable season tickets which are thus shown to be important components of urban transport policy. |
