Public transport or private vehicle: factors that impact on mode choice

Grace Corpuz

Open publisher page 45 citations

Abstract

What makes people use or prefer the car more than public transport? What will facilitate the use of public transport? An understanding of the factors that affect mode choice is essential to the promotion of more sustainable behaviour and the achievement of the state's transport targets. In this paper, we analyse the Transport Data Centre's (TDC) Sydney Household Travel Survey (HTS) data to assess the factors affecting mode choice. We also identify areas where public transport use may have the most potential for expansion subject to focused intervention. (a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no. E216058.
