Abstract

Public vehicles provide significant benefits to society. It cuts vehicle ownership and operating costs, avoid road congestion and parking problems, and improv safety. However, the service used by the nation depends on the quality of service provided by the public transport provider and government, such as comfort, speed, safety, time discipline, connectivity from place to metro station, non-crowding, and speed. The users' needs and preferences determine the savings and benefits of public transportation, the number of transit users, and the service quality. For maintaining efficient public services, the services providers must earn sufficient revenues to sustain. The study's objective is to calculate the reasonable fare for passengers based on passing metro stations, increase the revenue of providers/ Delhi metro, and recommend the "Efficient Comprehensive package".

Given a metro line with stops, the study shows that the fare should be based on the number of metro stations passed by the traveller’s boarding and arrival stops to maximize the benefit obtained from the sale of tickets to the travellers. The Paper presents a package that includes qualitative factors, such as comfort, convenience, travel time valuation, transit service quality and transit ridership. The Paper Contains 4 sections. Section I Includes the Introduction and objective of the Paper. Section II Covers a Review of the literature and methodology. Section III Contains calculations of Cost- Per passenger KM and a Comparison of Existing Fare with the Proposed Fare. Section IV contains "efficient comprehensive metro package" & Conclusions.
