Quality Competition in Bus Services: Some Welfare Implications of Bus Deregulation

Abstract

The authors find that a competitive equilibrium will have only two firms, providing that services of different quality are at different fares. They consider factors influencing consumers’ welfare under competition and where there is a public monopolist. Where there is already competition between buses and taxis, there may be no scope for minibuses as a third competitor.
