A reflection of motorization and public transport in jakarta metropolitan area
TLDR
In this paper, the authors provided an overview of the influences of motorization trends on urban residents' travel patterns in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area (JMA) in the last decade, and the performance of the first year of the bus rapid transit (BRT) system implementation, as a way to suppress motorization in JMA, is also described.Abstract:
This article provides an overview of the influences of motorization trends on urban residents' travel patterns in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area (JMA) in the last decade. The performance of the first year of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system implementation, as a way to suppress motorization in JMA, is also described. It is found that the trend of motorization has already become a critical issue and suppressing the rapid increase of private cars is imperative. However, the existing public transport facilities are not adequate in fulfilling the demand, both in quality and quantity. The lesson learned from Jakarta Metropolitan Area's context illustrates the need to focus on a series of substantial actions as the future innovations. These suggested future innovations are believed to be beneficial for application in the JMA area, and also other developing cities.read more

Investigating household vehicle ownership, mode choice and trip sharing decisions using a combined revealed preference/stated preference Nested Logit model: case study in Bangkok Metropolitan Region
TL;DR: In this article, a Nested Logit model was proposed to investigate household travel behavior in respect to vehicle ownership, mode choice and trip sharing decisions, and revealed preference (RP) and stated preference (SP) data was analyzed using a combined estimation of RP/SP data, which is an effective method of expressing complex travel behaviour and forecasting travel demand for new transport services.
