This paper explores reforms of pricing of private and public transport in Paris. Paris has used a policy of very low public transport prices and no road pricing. The Paris transport network is represented as a stylized concentric city with the choice between car, rapid rail, metro and busses as well as two income classes and different transport motives. The model is used to test what are the efficiency gains of introducing road pricing and of increasing public transit prices in the peak. Are both reforms reenforcing each other or are they largely substitutes? We find that a zonal pricing scheme for the center of Paris combined with higher public transport fares in the peak perform best. The benefits of an overall capacity extension of public transport supply are much lower than the benefits of pricing reforms and could very well not pass the cost benefit test.

“…First, these links were built up over a long period of time, and they have not only shaped a considerable diversity of geographical systems, but also constructed very powerful representations that still have a strong influence on debates on the efficiency of rail transport. Next, we have shown that the interaction between railways and demographic change is extremely dynamic, as the two have evolved together over decades, with periods of rapid readjustment and differences in both the chronology and nature of changes between one country or one region and another.Finally, knowledge about the future is vital for the rail sector, as it takes approximately 10 years to introduce new rolling stock and at least 20 to design and build a high speed line.In spite of its faults and weaknesses, we therefore still need forecasting (De Palma et al, 2010).However, it must be improved in two respects:first, greater transparency is required with regard to the construction and handling of the fundamental indicators and variables; andsecond, experts need to make greater use of geographic information systems in models that analyse the performance, vulnerability and resilience of the railway system (Tschopp et al, 2003) in order to promote a more geographicallybased approach.…”

This study reviews literature for identifying the methods in order to evaluate the impacts of key transport infrastructure provisions on urban form and peri-urban development in European Union (EU) member countries. Key impacts and linkages of transportation provision on urban development trends are identified through the international literature. These include direct impacts of transportation infrastructure provision, socioeconomic impacts, transportation network effects and energy and environmental impacts. Among the evaluation methodologies, cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is the most common approach for transport policy impact assessments both in the national project appraisal guidelines and in scientific analysis and research. Considering its extensive usage in the appraisal work, the main focus will be on the evaluation tools used within the CBA approach. The corresponding data requirements for the valuation of indicators will be also discussed in order to assess the impacts of costs and benefits of transport investments, particularly rapid rail investments, on urban form and development.
