Abstract
In order to protect the sustainable and healthy development of urban public transport system, relieve its internal price competition, this paper proposed a ticket pricing model of urban rail transit based on Game theory. Through consideration of different radiation scope under different operation stages, this paper construct rail and bus transit´s ticket income models, and by Nash equilibrium got their optimal prices in non-cooperative game. The method can provide a reference for the reasonable and scientific ticket pricing. Finally, through actual engineering validated the operability and effectivity of this method.
