Abstract

This paper examines the demand for local bus services in England. The study is based on a dynamic model relating per capita bus patronage to bus fares, income, and service level, and is estimated using a combination of time-series and cross-section data for English counties. The results indicate that patronage is relatively fare-sensitive, with a wide variation in the elasticities.
