Abstract

This present paper analyzes the concept of Passenger Road Transport cost and different ways to express it Different components of Passenger Road Transport cost have been discussed. The estimation and analysis of total and unit Passenger Road Transport costs have been traced out. Finally, this chapter discusses the empirical results of trends obtained through linear, quadratic, and exponential models.

Keywords: Passenger Road Transport cost; recurring cost; non-recurring cost
