Abstract
Taxi plays an important role in the metropolitan area with frequently economic activities. It has features of convenient, speediness, privacy, comfortable and flexibility service. Therefore, taxi has the state of indispensible in the metropolitan area. However, passengers need to pay a highly price relatively because that taxi is part of Para-transit that have both advantages of accessibility and mobility among all modes.
If the mechanism of pooling can be formed, it will provide user with an alternative plan based on reduce the average passenger affordability. In addition, transportation capacity now available can also increase, and makes the level of service and operational efficiency of the industry to be promoted in synchronization.
Therefore, the study hopes to probe into the main factors that influenced MRT passengers’ mode choice behavior for existing transfer mode through the mode choice model analysis. In addition, the study also tries to fit into the alternative plan of the service of taxi-pooling, analyzing the mainly factors that from the passengers traveled by private modes to travel by taxi. There are modes with taxi, bus, private modes, walk, and pick up by relatives and friends in our choice sets of alternatives. The study also designed all kind of situation that access mode transfer to main line mode, and also estimated the most important factors that passenger’s mode choice by way of the establishment of mode choice model, then makes the analysis of elasticity for all kinds of the important variables. Finally, the study also observed the variation of the possibility of mode choice affect by all kinds of variables. The results reveal that the factors include trip purpose, sex, occupation, car ownership and motor ownership are all important factor for mode choice. Based on the elasticity estimates demonstrate that the mode choice project of carpooling are more insensitive Direct Elasticity based on short access distance, and the original mode are more insensitive Direct Elasticity based on long access distance. It meants that reducing cost timely can increase the occupation ratio of carpooling effectively.
