''Fair revenue sharing for public transportation system in Seoul metropolitan area''
 
 
With an introduction of a new payment card for public transportation system, a new fare schedule was announced in Seoul metropolitan area from July 1, 2004. Since the card makes it possible to figure out the traffic patterns of public transportation users, a user''s fare depends on his/her traffic pattern. Moreover, the city allocates its revenue between various bus and subway companies based on the traffic patterns. In this paper, we investigate the properties of various revenue sharing rules by taking cooperative game theoretic approach.
