Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Currently, the sustainability of public transport services in cities is increasing every day is an important factor. The stability of public transport is important for the mobility of residents, timely access to work, medical facilities or places of recreation. Public transport, on the other hand, is a mode of transport that directly competes with private cars. One of the most important factors ensuring fast and high-quality passenger transport service is its speed. Low traffic speed is one of the main reasons preventing people from using public transport. Introducing differential fares can be economically advantageous as it helps regulate passenger flow, increases the revenues of transport companies, and improves public transport services.
