Abstract

The objective of the report described in this paper is to ascertain the knowledge required by transport planners when faced with a choice between different methods for improving public transport. The way in which the travel behaviour of public transport users is influenced by the quality of the service is studied. Relative importance of the trip-time attributes is determined by analysing the route-choice behaviour of individuals who stated to know their route alternatives. A multinominal logit model is used and a distinction is made between different categories of public transport users and trips. These categories are defined by, for instance, car-availability, trip purpose and period of the day. The relative importance of different types of in-vehicle time (bus, metro) and different types of transfers is analyzed by using various model specifications.
