Abstract: We describe a dynamic pricing strategy applicable to ride-sharing scenarios in public transportation services. The strategy incorporates data about relation popularity and price acceptance rates. Crucially, it captures interdependencies between tickets for different relations served by a single vehicle, and thus is able to balance out locally optimal pricing with the expected future evolution of vehicle occupancy state. Based on historical data about a real-world ride-sharing operator, we demonstrate that the proposed method is robust to imperfections in the input data, and estimate it to be more profitable than both fixed-price strategies (even theoretically optimal), and an actual dynamic pricing strategy prescribed by business experts.
