Previous studies showed that some routes present operational characteristics that increased the price charged to the users. To address this issue, a methodology to identify the routes that have fares much higher than expected, after considering operational parameters, is developed. This paper presents a methodology implemented to evaluate fare inequities in public transport networks. The case study is the bus public transport network in Costa Rica. The evaluation is performed using fare per kilometer as independent variable and operational variables, such as route length, monthly ridership and vehicle occupancy by using cluster analysis and Bayesian multilevel modelling. The results indicate that random coefficients models perform better than independent models for clustered data. Furthermore, the routes with higher differences between observed and estimated (i.e., expected) fares are the ones to be addressed first in individual audits, because these are the routes who charge higher operational costs into the fare, increasing inequity among the population. 2021 artículo científico 1409-2441 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=44171828005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/441/44171828005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/441/44171828005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/441/44171828005/44171828005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/441/44171828005/movil 10.15517/ri.v31i2.45018 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=441 Ingeniería.
