Price of Collective Transport Service
Firms determine prices according to many pricing strategies that can take into account one
factor or more to identify transportation tariff; most known factors are: cost, period, objectives
of consumption, distance, loyalty, partnership or internal and external factors (Baublys &
Isoraitė, 2006). In most countries of the world, including Algeria, these factors are only on the
theoretical level and do not often used to determine transportation tariff.
In Algeria, the government has an important role in setting transportation prices because it is a
vital service and has a direct effect on individual’s life and economy in general, thus firms has
to submit with these prices and move only in its borders. this pricing strategy used most in
developing countries in order to eliminate any attempts of imposing high prices on citizens.
