The effect of variation in future land use and transport pricing on an express transit system is investigated. Through travel forecasting and mode choice estimating processes, changes in land use densities and residential employment locational patterns were studied for their impact on travel patterns and the mode of travel during a peak period for a single fixed regional express transit and highway system. The study of transport pricing showed a significant increase in the use of transit to the central area for user costs more favourable to transit. Transit usage to areas of inherently low transit usage was not as significantly affected.
