Abstract
The paper presents a general procedure, supported by a system of simulation models, to estimate the effects due to the implementation of an integrated fare system in regional transit services. The effects on users (demand level variations) and on transit companies (management revenues) are considered. In particular, the demand is assumed to be elastic with respect to the fare at the modal and path choice dimensions. The general procedure is applied to the transit system of an Italian regional area.
