A passenger mile is a measure of how many people have been carried by an airline or other transport system. It is used as the denominator when comparing number of incidents, deaths, mechanical failures, etc. of modes of transportation.

For example, if three people get on a bus and are carried for exactly one mile, the bus has traveled one mile, but the services has racked up three (3) passenger miles.

How do you calculate the cost per passenger mile flown?

First - you DEFINE a 'passenger mile'. Then you define over what period the cost is to be calculated. Then you define what constitutes a 'cost'. Then you define the class of vehicles to be embraced in 'flown'. After that, it's pretty easy. Do I need to go on? say 200 people are on a plane trip for 300 miles. It cost the airline $5,000 for this flight. First find passenger miles: 200 x 300 = 60,000. Then divide the cost by passenger miles: 5,000 / 60,000 = $0.08, so it cost the airline 8 cents to send 1 passenger 1 mile. i made up the cost, by the way. i have no idea what it actually costs, just an example.

What is the average cost per mile for a 34 passenger bus7.3l diesel engine?

To determine the average cost per mile for a 34 passenger bus with a 7.3L diesel engine, you would need to consider the current fuel price and the bus's fuel efficiency in miles per gallon (mpg). Calculate the cost of fuel to travel one mile by dividing the cost of a gallon of diesel by the bus's mpg. This calculation will give you an estimate of the average cost per mile based on fuel consumption.
