The researchers, therefore, aim to find solutions to this problem by analyzing the historical and current pricing strategy of MRT -3. After a series of analysis by making use of Public Sector and Urban Economics tools and concepts, together with regression analysis, the researchers recommend average-cost pricing, one-ticketing system, and government buy-out of the rail system to cover up the loss that the rail system currently experiences.enMetro rail systemTransportation industryRail systemMRTPricingMRT pricingThesis
