title = "Assessing Equity of Regular Public Transit Fare Policy Based on Gini Coefficient",
abstract = "Assessing equity of public transit fare policy is meaningful to both passengers and bus companies. In this paper, fare equity is defined as reasonable difference in the distribution of unit cost among different groups. Unit fare, unit cost and fare box recovery ratio are taken as evaluating indexes of fare equity. Then, the theory of Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient are applied into the equity evaluation of unit fares distribution among the passengers and the {"}subsidy threshold{"} is used to analyze the cross-subsidy. Finally, as an example, the evaluating indexes and methods are applied into the equity evaluation of flat fare. Results show that using the established indexes and methods to evaluate fare equity is feasible and flat fare is unfair.",
