There are train and bus services bw new Delhi and Jaipur. Suppose that the train fare be the two cities comes down. How will this affect the demand curve for bus travel bw the two cities
Dear Student,
Rightly said by Sarvesh.
Train and bus here are substitute goods, which means price of the train fare will affect the demand for the bus. It is a concept of demand in which price of a substitute good affects the price of the given good.
Here when price of the train falls, then consumer would shift its demand to train which would decrease the demand of bus and would shift the demand curve of bus leftwards. Similarly if the price of the train fare rises, the demand of the bus will increase making the demand curve of bus shift rightwards.
Regards
