Clarifying Questions:

Solution:
I would structure this around demand stimulation, pricing optimization, and service expansion.
- Demand stimulation
• Identify underpenetrated commuter segments.
• Evaluate marketing and employer partnership opportunities.
• Assess service awareness and convenience gaps.
- Pricing optimization
• Evaluate fare structure and discount programs.
• Assess elasticity across peak and off-peak hours.
• Explore subscription or loyalty-based pricing.
- Service expansion and quality
• Analyze route frequency and reliability.
• Evaluate opportunities to add new routes.
• Assess service quality improvements to drive retention.
