- W577872579 abstract "The use of smaller buses offers passengers a better service frequency for a given service capacity, but costs more to operate per sear provided. Within this trade-off there is an optimal bus size which maximizes social benefit. A mathematical model is described which cha be solved analytically to provide an explicit relationship between optimal bus size and factors such as operating cost, level of demand, and demand elasticities. The model includes: passenger demand varying with the generalized costs of travel according to a constant elasticity; the effect of changes in bus occupancy on average waiting time and on operating speed; the financial constraint that farebox revenue must equal operating costs less subsidy; an allowance for external benefits associated with generated demand, and for the effect of the flow of buses on traffic congestion; and an operating cost increasing linearly with bus size. The optimal size varies with the square root of demand, and with the unit cost to the power of 0.1 to 0.2. It also increases slowly with the proportion of cost covered by subsidy. For typical urban operating condition in the United Kingdom the optimal size for a monopoly service lies between 66 and 65 seats assuming the observed relationship between cost and size; it is possible that changes in working practices could make smaller buses relatively cheaper to operate, so reducing the optimal size, but it seems unlikely to fall below 40 seats." @default.
