GEN Seminar: Externalities and public transport pricing and subsidies - Tue 21 Feb 2012

Page updated Feb 21, 2012

Event Details

Speaker

Mike Smart, Director, Sapere Research Group

Abstract

One of the rationales for subsidising public transport is that it generates external benefits that are not properly captured in the price system. Mike Smart will discuss an approach he developed when carrying out the studies for the New South Wales Independent Pricing And Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) to quantify the external benefits and to determine optimal fares and subsidies for CityRail and Sydney Buses.
