An efficient system of passenger transportation is crucial service for the development of activities in a city. Usually, most workers and students in a city use public transportation systems to commute, making the planning of that service essential for the operation of the city. Then, public transportation fares have a great importance over the users, as a factor that can limit the amount and purpose of their trips, especially within the low-income population. Then, public transportation fare can be used as a tool for social inclusion or exclusion. This final undergraduate work aims at to apply the methodology for calculating the public bus fare that was developed by ANTP (National Association for Public Transportation), in 2017, and comparing it to the traditional methodology used in Brazil currently. In order to do that, the cost of public transportation by bus in Uberlândia, MG was calculated through the new methodology, and the results were compared to the bus fare applied in 2018 in the city. This allowed evaluating the best way of fixing bus fares in a way that is beneficial for public transportation users.
