FFPT_elasticity_BH

This repository contains the processed data, R code, and replication materials for the article “Fare-Free Public Transport and Fare Cuts: Quasi-Experimental Evidence on Bus Ridership and Demand Elasticity in Brazil.” The files reproduce the analysis of two fare-policy changes in Belo Horizonte: the introduction of fare-free public transport on Sundays and holidays, and a within-system fare cut used to estimate bus demand elasticity. The repository includes cleaned monthly and line-level datasets, scripts for data preparation and analysis, and code to reproduce the tables and figures reported in the article. The original operational reports were published by the Belo Horizonte Mobility Authority (SUMOB).本仓库包含论文《免费公共交通与票价下调：巴西公交客流量与需求弹性的准实验证据》的处理后数据、R代码及复现材料。本仓库内文件可复现贝洛奥里藏特市两项公交票价政策调整的相关分析：一是周日及节假日实施的公交免费通行政策，二是用于估算公交需求弹性的系统内票价下调方案。本仓库包含清洗后的月度与线路级数据集、数据预处理与分析脚本，以及可复现论文中所列表格与图表的代码。本研究原始运营报告由贝洛奥里藏特市交通管理局（Belo Horizonte Mobility Authority, SUMOB）发布。
