NATIVIDAD-VIEGO, Valentina  y  BELEN-VOLONTE, Carolina. Urban traffic estimations for bus passengers in Bahía Blanca city, Argentina. 2007-2014. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.55, pp.561-580. ISSN 2448-6183.  https://doi.org/10.22136/est20171040.

This article aims to estimate the determinants of the demand for urban passenger transport by bus in the city of Bahia Blanca using monthly data for the 2007-2014 period. Fixed effects panel data techniques which support heterogeneity between lines are used and thus increase precision of estimates. Estimations produce elasticities (e.g. fare, cost of travel in alternative modes) which allows us to analyze the role of the general price level in the demand of bus transport.
