摘要：

In a first-best environment, taxi travel should be subsidized. The result derives from economies of density-doubling trips and taxis reduces waiting time. The subsidy should cover the shadow cost of taxis' idle time, evaluated at the optimum. The paper provides a proof of the result for dispatch taxis and then discusses the practicality of its implementation. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc.
