Regional Rail Expansion

Clarifying Questions:

Solution:


I would structure this around demand stimulation, pricing optimization, and service expansion.

  1. Demand stimulation
    • Identify underpenetrated commuter segments.
    • Evaluate marketing and employer partnership opportunities.
    • Assess service awareness and convenience gaps.

  1. Pricing optimization
    • Evaluate fare structure and discount programs.
    • Assess elasticity across peak and off-peak hours.
    • Explore subscription or loyalty-based pricing.

  1. Service expansion and quality
    • Analyze route frequency and reliability.
    • Evaluate opportunities to add new routes.
    • Assess service quality improvements to drive retention.
