Session title: Lowering and abolishing fares: a step towards mobility of the future?
Session chairs: Wojciech Kębłowski (VUB, ULB), Monika Maciejewska (VUB) and Merlin Gillard (LISER, VUB)
 
In this session, we intend to explore diverse economic, social, political and environmental aspects of the policies of lowering/abolishing fares in PT networks. We consider fares to be a crucial element in any conceptualisation of the future of mobility, across scales.
 
We welcome theoretical or empirical papers that may take up (but are not limited to) the following questions:
 
- The “arrival” of low/abolished fares: motivations, stakeholders and institutions, power relations, regulatory frameworks
- The role of political ideologies to support or oppose fare reduction/abolition
- Low/abolished fares as a strategy for “commoning” mobility
- The social geography of low/abolished fares: in terms of class, ethnicity/race, gender or age – accessibility, opportunities, social inclusion
- The impact of low/abolished fares on travel behaviour and modal split
- The financial aspects of lowering/abolishing fares
- Lowering/abolished fares as a “mobile” policy: geography of policy circulation and transfer
- The geographical diversity of low/abolished fares
- Research challenges in analysing the impact of lowering/abolishing fares
- The impact of lowering/abolishing fares on fare control and evasion
 
If interested in joining the session, please submit you abstract (up to 300 words) along with a brief bio description by March 31st 2023 through the official congress website: www.eugeobcn23.eu/sessions/?id=1205
