AB There are many different views on perceived benefits and costs of the offered transport services in the market, because each customer gives a different weight to characteristics of these services. The customer thus buys a service from the transport company that offers the highest perceived benefits in relation to the total cost. Therefore it is important to monitor traffic flows of passengers in a long-distance rail passenger transport and in advance specify the expected number of passengers who use this link. Only on the basis of a well-prepared prediction it will be possible to establish an effective session tariff, which ensures reimbursement of all costs to the carrier and also guarantees a reasonable profit. The aim of this paper is to provide a cost analysis of a carrier in passenger rail transport at the risk of unoccupied capacity of a selected train in different variants of its workload and the proposal of a session tariff with respect to this risk.
