| dc.description.abstract | This paper assessed the relationships between transport supply and demand. The basic objective of this paper is to explore and to elaborate the fundamental characteristics of transport supply and demand, the factors that determine the transport supply and demand in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja. This paper adopted a survey research method andilt was observed that price changes not only affect the level of transport demand but can also lead to shifts of demand to other routes, alternative transport modes and or other time periods and the result revealed that there is an inverse relationship between supply and demand of transport services, if transport costs are high, demand is low as the consumers of a transport service (either freight or passengers) are less likely to use it. If transport costs are low, the demand would be high as users would get more services for the same cost. If costs are high, transport providers would be willing to supply high quantities of services since high profits are likely to arise under such circumstances. If costs are low, the quantity of transport services would be low as many providers would see little benefits operating at a loss. Based on result, we recommend that transportation yield management should be put in place to address this inverse relationship between supply and demand for transport service in the FCT. | en_US |
