Revenue sharing
In a transport association , sales and the resulting fare revenues are organized by the association. Transport services are provided by different transport companies at a uniform tariff. The companies involved mutually and across companies recognize the tickets issued by the tariff partners.
The income received is allocated to the transport company. The distribution key for this revenue distribution is regulated in a transport contract.
Revenue sharing key
Square kilometers
With this calculation basis, the mileage driven is multiplied by the seating and standing room capacities and used as the calculation basis. It does not matter whether passengers are actually being transported.
Passenger kilometers
With this calculation basis, the travel distance is multiplied by the number of customers transported. For this purpose, a comprehensive quantity structure of the traffic demand is required, which is differentiated according to ticket types and price levels through traffic counts.
Earning power
A prerequisite for a revenue sharing process based on sales data is a tariff that is designed with information on entry and exit stops or entry and exit zones. A quantity structure of the traffic demand (traffic count) is also required with this method.
