在发展中国家采用以铁路为基础的公共交通时，从公共服务的角度来看，采用低票价，这成为一个主要的操作障碍。然而，尽管票价非常高，曼谷的轨道交通系统却有很多乘客。本文考察了公交用户的特征和行为，并分析了他们对票价变化的敏感性。对于自我弹性，研究发现，公共交通使用者总体上是无弹性的。各种公共交通工具的弹性范围在-0.16到-0.83之间。各种因素都会影响公共交通的弹性，如收入水平、门票类型和出行方式。铁路用户对公交车和客货车价格变化的交叉弹性为0.33，对出租车服务变化的交叉弹性为0.62。总体而言，结果揭示了曼谷公共交通通过提高票价来增加盈利的可能性。
When introducing rail-based public transport in developing countries, low fare prices are adopted from the viewpoint of public services which becomes a major operational obstacle. However, the rail transit systems in Bangkok have many passengers, despite of very high fare price. This paper examines the characteristics and behavior of public transportation users and analyzes their sensitivity to change in the fare price. For the self-elasticity, it is found that public transport users are generally inelastic. The value of the elasticity range is from-0.16 to-0.83 for various public transport modes. Various factors can affect public transit elasticities such as income level, ticket type, and access mode. The cross-elasticity of railway users in response to a price change of bus and van is 0.33, and to a change of taxi service is 0.62. Overall, the results revealed the possibility that Bangkok public transit can increase profitability by raising fares.
