Abstract:

The consumer surplus and producer surplus of coordination system between rail transit and bus transit were analyzed according to the theory of welfare economics. Taking the maximization of social welfare as the target, non-coordinated schedule model and schedule coordination model were established. The solution approach to the model was proposed. The operation effect of transfer network before and after the implementation of schedule coordination between rail transit and bus transit was analyzed comparatively with a calculation case example. The results show that the implementation of schedule coordination increases the social welfare and benefit of passengers and operation enterprises.
