Dionysius Lardner (1793-1859) pointed out in Railway Economy (1850) that in modern production, such as railroads, there are huge fixed costs in addition to direct costs, and the existence of these huge fixed costs led to the development of a differential fare theory for railroads, known as the value of service theory or what-the-traffic-will-bear principle. In other words, this method regards the direct additional costs required for each transport object as the minimum guideline for each fare, and in reality, the fare is determined according to the expected ability of the transport object to bear the fare.
