Post-COVID Transit Fares for Riders and Recovery by O'Neil Jr., Daniel M.

“…A flexible pass that confers a set number of CTA journeys at a discounted per-trip price is found to be the most promising, as it would provide the most utility to riders for whom pay-per-use travel is currently the most economical choice. The third case study considers single-day fare capping as an alternative to traditional 1-day passes for transit users in Chicago, identifying benefits to reduced-fare and bus-only riders while providing opportunities to boost agency ridership. …”
