We propose a new simple general model for this problem. It i s based on a demand function and constraints for the different fares. The constraints define the structure of the fare system, e.g., distance dependent fares or zone fares. We discuss a simple example with a quadratic demand function and distance dependent fares. Then we introduce a more realistic discrete choice model in which passengers choose between different alternatives depending on the numb er of trips per month. We demonstrate the examples by computational experiments. 05-20 854 urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-8541 Ralf Borndörfer Marika Neumann Marc Pfetsch 05-20 eng uncontrolled fare planning eng uncontrolled demand function eng uncontrolled discrete choice model Informatik, Informationswissenschaft, allgemeine Werke Traffic problems Models of real-world systems Mathematical Optimization Mathematics of Transportation and Logistics Borndörfer, Ralf MATHEON-B1 MATHEON-B15 Applied Optimization https://opus4.kobv.de/opus4-zib/files/854/ZR-05-20.pdf https://opus4.kobv.de/opus4-zib/files/854/ZR-05-20.ps
