Abstract

This paper derives a set of cross-elasticities of demand at the national level for travel in Great Britain. The elasticities consist of cross-elasticities between car travel and the fares on six different public transport modes, and between travel on these six modes and the price of petrol. The cross-elasticity values are calculated using previous estimates of own-price elasticities, data on modal traffic levels, and 'diversion factors' derived from a survey of transport experts.
