5. Conclusion
From the above analysis it is concluded that the implementation of a suburban coastal
transport system in the southern Athens area is economically viable. This can be
achieved with one or two mid stops and different price ticket levels. The optimum
though economic solution is accomplished when we apply the smallest number of mid
stops and the higher ticket price level. In the examined case study, an one mid stop
system with a 700GRDRh ticket (S1,700 ), is the most efficient financial solution since
it shows the higher NPV and IRR. That means that the investor has bigger profit by
offering the minimum service (1 mid. stop) with the highest price of the range
examined (500 - 700 GRDrh). If he increased the stops and offer more service, and if
he reduced the ticket price, then he would attract more customers. But, according to
the above analysis the best solution is S1,700, that means less service, less passengers
and higher ticket price.
