Modelling the Geographic Component of Mass Transit Subsidies

A framework is developed for evaluating the distributive effects of mass transit subsidies that explicitly considers the inherent spatial interdependences of a transit system, particularly with regard to the nature of cities, and the politically and legally 'fair' distribution of scarce public resources. The methodology is demonstrated by means of a simulated urban mass transit system, and a review is presented of previous models and approaches to the question of subsidies at all levels of scale
