Data sources
Information needed | Possible specific sources | Costs* | Advice to fill data gaps and/ or improve data quality |
Monthly PT price | The price of the monthly PT pass should come from the PT authority of the urban area, or the operating company. In case of multiple operating companies covering the urban area, wherever possible the price sought should be referring to unlimited travel on all operators’ services in the entire urban area. | L |
|
Household size | If there is no integrated pass allowing travel on the services of all operators, then the price of the monthly pass should be calculated by adding the prices for each operating company. | L | - |
Monthly income 25% poorest | The costs are usually known (e.g. online). | M/H | |
Monthly expenditures transport services by poorest 25% | M/H |

* The column “Costs” provides a qualitative assessment of the budget (staff costs, time, costs for data acquisition, etc.) needed by a city/ urban area for gathering new quantitative data in absence of already available values. For each parameter, the assessment takes into account both the administrative costs and the costs related to searching, acquisition and processing of the needed data; these can be high (“H”), medium (“M”) or low (“L”), or a combination of a pair of them.
