Abstract:
Taking Shenzhen Rail Transit Line 8 as an example, based on the quasipublic and market characteristics of the rail transit line with both tourism and commuting function, fare positioning and pricing principles of such lines are proposed. By calculating the operating cost and total cost of Line 8, according to the balance principle of different costs, the fare levels of tourist and non-tourist passenger flow of Line 8 are analyzed. Through comparison with other transportation modes, considering the characteristics of passenger flow of Line 8, a number of fare implementation schemes are proposed for comprehensive comparison and selection, and associated supporting ticket system implementation plan are put forward.
