| In this paper it is shown that integrated tariffs can be used to extract the consumer’s surplus when there are a lot of connections supplied, so that a law of large number applies in the estimation of the consumer’s willingness to pay. The time validity limitations of tickets are explained by a nonlinear pricing approach. Links between optimal pricing in local public transport and network characteristics are highlighted. |
