Abstract

This study aimed to measure the profitability of railway transport for the "Algiers-Oran" line by relying on monthly data for the period (2005-2019), whereby five models were built to test the relationship between profitability and each of the real disposable income, several passengers, price Passenger transportation ticket by train, airline passenger ticket prices, as according to the results of each model we modified the other models, by deleting some variables or reducing the number of observations. We concluded that the number of passengers is the variable that primarily explains the profitability of rail transport for the Algiers-Oran line. This company is also a public institution concerned with serving citizens by establishing a good network of electrified lines and reducing the cost of transportation compared to other means of transportation.
