Does Public Transit reduce Car Travel Externalities (2015, background): “The latter is particularly relevant, because, as argued by Basso and Silva (2014), public transit subsidies should be evaluated according to other urban policies with a similar aim, such as congestion pricing and bicycling-promoting policies.”
Public transit investment and sustainable transportation: A review of studies of transit's impact on traffic congestion and air quality (2015, background): “Both Winston and Langer (2006) and Beaudoin et al. (2015a) find that the type of transit service has a differential effect on congestion, though it is unclear whether this is directly due to the transit technology, or whether rail happens to be located in the largest and most dense regions where pub”
The economics and engineering of bus stops: Spacing, design and congestion (2014, background): “Other elements progressively introduced to the analysis of bus stop spacing include mode choice (Basso and Silva, 2013; Ibeas et al., 2010; Alonso et al., 2011), bus stop construction costs (dell'Olio et al., 2006; Tirachini and Hensher, 2011), and a constraint on the maximum distance between stops…”
Multimodal pricing and optimal design of urban public transport: The interplay between traffic congestion and bus crowding (2014, background): “17 Basso and Silva (2014) show that the existence and level of optimal bus subsidies might be strongly influenced by the provision of dedicated bus lanes.”
