The economy of passenger automobile transportation is a system of interrelated processes that ensure the viability, sustainability and development of transport services. It combines the costs of maintaining rolling stock, staff remuneration, traffic management, maintenance, infrastructure and information systems, as well as management decisions related to tariffs, contracts and the distribution of financial responsibility between the carrier and the customer of the service. The main objective of the economic model is to ensure the availability and quality of transportation with a rational use of resources, avoiding situations where network expansion or increased output leads to a disproportionate increase in costs without improving the actual mobility of the population.
The basis of economic sustainability is the cost structure of the carrier. The most significant elements are fuel or energy costs, salaries for drivers and support staff, maintenance and repair of rolling stock, purchase of spare parts and operating materials, infrastructure maintenance, insurance, depreciation and rental of rolling stock. A significant part is taken up by indirect costs – the organization of dispatching control, driver training, updating information systems, data processing, security, and sanitation. The change in the cost structure is directly related to transportation technology: for example, increasing the intervals at night reduces operating costs without compromising quality, and the organization of dedicated lanes reduces fuel consumption by reducing traffic jams and making traffic more regular.

Geography and organization of the route network play an essential role. Straight-line routes, a small number of “broken” sections, fewer left-turn intersections, and optimally positioned stops can save time and fuel, improve regularity, reduce the likelihood of failures, and reduce the need for backup. On the contrary, complex and confusing routes, frequent deviations, congested intersections and excessive density of stops lead to increased costs and a deterioration in the quality of services. Therefore, the economic analysis of the route includes an assessment not only of passenger traffic, but also of the geometry of the streets, the technological performance of the timetable, the need for additional units of rolling stock and the impact on adjacent lines.
Economics is closely linked to the quality of passenger information and flow management. A passenger who understands where and when to go chooses a route without unnecessary mistakes and delays. This increases the attractiveness of public transport, increases demand, and reduces hidden system costs, such as those caused by overloading of individual lines when others are underloaded. Digital services make it possible to adjust schedules based on actual data, predict the load and redistribute the manufactured rolling stock in advance. In the future, this allows us to move to dynamic management models, where economic efficiency is achieved by reducing “dips” between peak periods and timely strengthening of the busiest areas.
