摘要：	In this paper, the authors address the issues of: (a) TFC (transit fare collection) system alternatives available on the market in the U.S. and (b) TFC system performance measures to compare alternative systems in terms of their operating costs. The authors conclude that while there are a number of independent factors affecting the composition, functions, and performance of a TFC system, the type of payment media, fare media, TFC equipment, and mode of transit are four major factors associated with TFC system performance in terms of operating costs. The authors also suggest that cost-effectiveness and labor-intensiveness metrics would be useful evaluation measures to assess the operating costs of existing and new TFC systems. Finally the authors present statistical data on selected heavy rail systems in the U.S. to illustrate the use of the framework and evaluation measures and to support the notions that cost-effectiveness and labor-intensiveness may vary considerably among heavy rail TFC systems and that this variation is due, in part, to the TFC technology including the type of fare media.
