Effects of changing land use and modal split in Melbourne

Patrick Moriarty, Clive Beed

Abstract

This paper documents the increase in vehicular passenger travel in Melbourne in the twentieth century, and particularly, the changes in travel modes used. It offers some explanation of why these changes have occurred and then examines two effects of the consciously enlarging public transport's share of total vehicular travel. The first effect examined is the change in total vehicular travel produced by a modal shift towards public transport, and the second is the impact on the total transport subsidy.
