摘要：

The paper proposes a bottom-up model for the calculation of unit operating costs of bus operators, with the aim of informing a more realistic calculation of standard costs in public transport. Standard costs are a key input for a more effective allocation of public resources to bus operators in Italy and allow for setting a virtuous circle towards more efficient public transport systems. Based on easy-to-collect data, an explicit dependence of some cost components upon relevant context/service variables faced by bus operators is introduced, ameliorating existing methods currently adopted. This enables bus operators to identify directions to improve their perfor-mance and public bodies to resort to more effective standard cost estimations. The viability of the proposed approach is showcased in the real case of Azienda Napoletana Mobilit`a, the biggest bus operator in the city of Naples (Italy), with examples of company-oriented and policy-oriented implications.
