Abstract

Regulations to adjust supply and demand of bus service are repealed, and subsidization for local bus was modified because of a partial amendment of the Road Transport Law in 2002. Former subsidization was conditional on cross subsidy but is changed to a subsidy system per bus route. Transport density and the rate of revenue and costs are usually applied to assessment to expend public subsidy in operating bus service. However, these indexes overlook factors such as business effort as bus services supply under minimum costs. Then, the aim of this paper is to develop an evaluation method of business management condition per bus route in order to distinguish the subsidized bus route efficiently. This method reflects operating condition for inside and outside business environment of bus route.
