Car or Public Transit? – Analysis on Travel Mode Choice Behavior

Hongcheng Gan

Abstract

Studying travelers' behavior provides information on how to encourage travelers switching from private car to rail transit.By collecting the information on the regular commuting trips by car and the travel mode choice during the World Expo Shanghai 2010 with RP and SP survey,this paper investigates the possible relationship between choosing rail transit and travel time/cost-saving by rail transit.Through analyzing the influential factors in travel mode choice,the paper develops a BL model.The results show that travelers with relatively less driving experience and lower income intend to use rail transit,while relatively young travelers and travelers frequently using cars are willing to commute by car.
