  • We use hourly measured weather conditions. Panel data models with individual specific fixed and random effects are used in analysis. The results suggest that snow has a substantial negative effect on the speed public transport. The associated welfare loss is 53 eurocent per commuting trip per person made by train and 76 eurocent per commuting trip per person made by bus, tram and metro. Rain strongly affects the speed of bus, tram and metro commuting trips on congested routes. The associated welfare loss is 1.15 € per commuting trip per person.
