fare distribution

Fare distribution refers to how the total cost of a transportation service, like a bus or airline ticket, is divided among different parties. For example, in public transit, the fare customers pay covers only a part of the actual operating cost; the remaining amount might be subsidized by government funds, advertising revenue, or other sources. In commercial transportation, a fare distribution might show how ticket prices, additional charges, and discounts contribute to the total revenue. Understanding fare distribution helps operators and policymakers assess affordability, sustainability, and the financial effectiveness of transportation systems.
