The industry is well-known for the deregulation implemented in the mid-1980s, but this only affected Great Britain outside London. In London, an alternative regime of comprehensive tendering was developed, whilst in Northern Ireland the industry remained under public ownership and control. Recent trends in these different jurisdictions will be reviewed with particular reference to Bus Back Better, the national bus strategy for England, published in 2021. This has led to some extensions of the concept of franchising, most notably in Greater Manchester, and to the development of enhanced partnerships. In addition to this general high-level review, two case studies are discussed, based on recent student projects at the University of Southampton. The first compares the bus market and industry in Guernsey and Jersey (both competitively tendered), the Isle of Man (publicly owned and controlled) and the Isle of Wight (deregulated). The second examines the bus market and industry in the neighbouring urban regions of Bournemouth and Southampton, where in both cases the successor to the former municipally owned incumbent has recently exited the market. Broad assessments are made of the efficacy of the different organisational structures considered. Conclusions are drawn with respect to likely future developments in the regulatory cycle, the relevance of theories of public value and whether the co-production of services could form a fourth way for the bus industry.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"116 ","pages":"Article 101737"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147421740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It presents findings of an online survey conducted in 2022, among industry leaders and subject matter experts in the GCC countries. The survey aimed to assess current PPP practices in GCC countries, examine its development, and evaluate its alignment with established success criteria. The results show an upward trend in the endorsement and promotion of PPP. The findings indicate that industry specialists in the GCC understand elements essential for the success of PPP ventures. The observed variation and breadth of responses among survey participants substantiate the market's relatively nascent and challenging condition. The survey results also show that the GCC countries often score lower than the other OECD high-income countries and need improvements in almost all PPP delivery phases and thematic areas. It is therefore argued that PPP in the GCC nations is a unique and novel endeavour. The findings provide insights into critical reforms to enhance its appeal to international private investors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 101678"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145610123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Residential parking reform can therefore significantly affect how people travel and thus contribute to sustainability transitions in urban mobility. Residential parking reforms have, however, proven difficult to implement. To address this problem, this paper analyzes the institutional conditions that influence residential parking policy formation and implementation. It does so through an exploratory case study of an ongoing, city-wide reform in Sweden. The analysis, which builds on interviews, observations, workshops, and a questionnaire, identifies multiple conditions at the inter-organizational, organizational, and intra-organizational levels that the people involved perceive as influencing the policy process. In terms of academic contributions, the findings deepen understanding of the challenges associated with implementing residential parking policies and show that regime lock-in within land-use planning, housing, and mobility can be a greater impediment to residential parking reform than resident opposition in the early phases of the policy process. The paper provides three recommendations for public officials overseeing residential parking reform: framing their task as organizational change and drawing inspiration from related frameworks; building legitimacy through incremental implementation; and monitoring and reporting reform-related outcomes through a public health benefits lens.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"116 ","pages":"Article 101703"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145957690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most existing evidence comes from high-income countries and stated-preference data, with limited attention to user heterogeneity and spatial contexts. This study contributes to filling this gap by estimating price elasticities and value of travel time savings (VOTTS) for ride-hailing trips in Greater Santiago, Chile, using aggregated data from over three million revealed-preference trip records provided by Uber, organized by origin-destination zone pairs. We estimate log-linear demand models that incorporate detailed sociodemographic and spatial indicators to capture variation across urban and rural zones, times of day, and user characteristics. Results show that price elasticities are higher in absolute terms in rural areas and during off-peak periods, while VOTTS is greater in urban zones and at peak hours. Additionally, ride-hailing demand increases in areas with Metro access and higher immigrant populations, but decreases in zones with higher poverty levels and larger elderly populations. These findings provide valuable insights for tailoring pricing, subsidies, and infrastructure investments to local needs and for enhancing the integration between ride-hailing and public transport in diverse urban settings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"116 ","pages":"Article 101717"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146039269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The benchmarking framework integrates data from the metro's annual reports for the fiscal years 2015–2016 to 2022–2023. In the first stage, Gross Variable Input Productivity (GVIP) is computed using a multilateral index number method. The inputs are labour and soft input costs, and the outputs are passenger kilometres and other revenue. Based on GVIP, the Hyderabad Metro consistently ranks the most productive, securing the top position in four out of five years. Productivity is influenced by external factors such as network size, gross domestic product (GDP), and socioeconomic conditions; therefore, we computed Net Variable Input Productivity (NVIP) using regression analysis to retrieve the residual. The regression results indicate that track length and GDP have a significant impact on metro productivity. According to NVIP, there were some changes in the position of other metros, but Hyderabad Metro retained its top spot. Sensitivity analysis confirms the robustness of the benchmarking framework. The study's policy recommendations emphasise the importance of expanding network capacity, enhancing multimodal integration, and increasing non-fare revenue streams.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 101697"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145840223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The widely used Two-Step Floating Catchment Area (2SFCA) method is limited in rural applications due to its reliance on fixed catchment areas and population-based demand weighting, which misrepresent actual travel conditions and overlook industry-specific requirements. To address these gaps, we propose an improved Nearest-Neighbor 2SFCA (NN-2SFCA) method that incorporates three key innovations: (1) network-based travel time derived from web mapping API instead of Euclidean distance, (2) a data-driven dynamic nearest-neighbor search to adaptively determine service ranges, and (3) demand weighting based on enterprise registered capital to reflect industrial scale rather than population distribution. Applied in Yunnan Province, China, results reveal severe inequality: 73 % of expressway services concentrate in only 10 % of townships, showing a clear core-periphery pattern. Significant sectoral disparities exist, with tourism having the poorest accessibility. The study offers actionable insights for optimizing resource allocation under the Rural Revitalization Strategy and presents a transferable framework for accessibility research in similar contexts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 101679"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145737237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
