“…The outcomes proposed that travel duration and expenses are the attributes that identify why the utilization of motorcyclist is a preferred modal choice. This finding is in agreement with the discoveries made by [11] who examined elements that affect motorcycle use and their conduct in connection to their modal choice in Malaysia. Apart from that, it was discovered that travel duration and expenses are the most critical components affecting motorcyclists' mode choice behaviour as well as the decrease in the total travel duration and expenses for the bus mode that was developed as the most imperative components in a program that focused on drawing in motorcyclists towards urban transportation service and far from the motorcycle mode.…”

“…Furthermore, according to [8,10], motorcyclists have thrice the potential of being harmed in an accident as well as 16 times bound to have their lives cut short compared to car occupants. Generally, this scenario can only be changed and improved by means of immediately implementing effective measures that focus on motorcyclists [11].In Egypt, although the number of motorcyclists has increased from about 1.1 million in 2011 to nearly 3 million in 2017 [12], which means less than 3 times, the mortality rate from motorcycle accidents has increased dramatically. About 6 times in the last three years by comparing the WHO statistics for 2015 and 2018 [1,5].…”

Road traffic injuries and mortality are mainly caused by motorcycle crashes. Practically, 50% of people who meet their death in road traffic accidents (RTAs) are motorcyclists. The issue is increasingly articulated in progressing nations where the use of motorcycles has gained popularity in the past decades. Moreover, death and fatalities caused by accidents involving motorcyclists are also in the rise due to the increasing trend. Hence, motorcyclists are encouraged to use alternative modes of transportation that are safer in the attempt to minimise losses. As a result, a policy ought to be created to enhance urban transportation service and control motorcycle proprietorship. The current research that lays the groundwork aims to contribute a more elaborated analysis on motorcycle user mode decision conduct as well as an excellent comprehension of the conceivable efforts that can be taken to support motorcyclists to shift to a safer mode of transportation, particularly bus. In the current research work, the binary logit mode choice model was created for two elective modes in order to distinguish the separate practices of motorcyclists and bus users and assess their reactions to a situation that can minimize both time and expenses involved in bus travel. In addition, it should be noted that this paper surveyed a total of 327 travellers from Greater Cairo Region (GCR) in Egypt, the bus users were identified through revealed preference, while the motorcyclists were identified through revealed and stated preference surveys. In this case, travel time, travel cost, age, sexual orientation, income level, trip purpose, education level, and privacy significantly influence motorcycle user mode decision conduct. The likelihood of motorcyclists to utilize the use of buses was additionally analyzed dependent on a situation of minimized bus travel time and travel cost. These elements are very important in a program that attempts to draw in motorcyclists to utilize public transport, particularly bus. The outcomes can help the process of decision making on all levels in assigning the necessary assets prudently for the advancement of urban transportation services, reduced number of road traffic crashes, and increased road safety. This examination, which is the first of its sort in Egypt, assesses the model choice behaviour for motorcyclists

“…The private vehicle category consists of cars and motorcycles, with the ratio of cars to motorcycles being approximately 11 : 9 [27–29]. As a result, we can assume that the breakdowns of the private vehicle type for daily trips are as shown in Table 21.…”

Mode Choice between Private and Public Transport in Klang Valley, Malaysia

In 2010, Klang Valley has only 17% trips each day were completed using public transport, with the rest of the 83% trips were made through private transport. The inclination towards private car usage will only get worse if the transport policy continues to be inefficient and ineffective. Under the National Key Economic Area, the priority aimed to stimulate the increase of modal share of public transport in the Klang Valley to 50% by 2020. In the 10th Malaysia Plan, the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit was proposed, equipped with 141 km of MRT system, and will integrate with the existing rail networks. Nevertheless, adding kilometers into the rail system will not help, if people do not make the shift from private into public transport. This research would like to assess the possible mode shift of travellers in the Klang Valley towards using public transport, based on the utility function of available transport modes. It intends to identify the criteria that will trigger their willingness to make changes in favour of public transport as targeted by the NKEA.

“…Minimizing the growing use of motorbikes could be an alternative option to reducing traffic congestion in Malaysia. Ibrahim Sheikh et al [39] conducted a case study in Malaysia and concluded that mode of transport, time spent in travel, and cost should be affordable for low-income groups. Time spent on travelling shows a key factor in transport cost and value of time.…”

Mode of Transport and Inequity in a Least Developed Country: The Case of Vientiane, Lao PDR

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In 1986, Laos opened its doors to the global market. With new economic policy mechanisms in place, the country has developed dramatically over the years. The rapid growth brought forth opportunities as well as challenges. This study analyzes traffic congestion in Vientiane, the capital, with a focus on transport mode choices and inequity among commuters. Due to the lack of a reliable database in Laos, the initial step entailed collecting a set of origin–destination data. A total of 498 samples were randomly processed in the data survey, consisting of personal data, household conditions, and travel behaviors. To identify the flow of transport and mode choices, descriptive analysis and a multilevel logit model were employed. The findings reveal the insufficiency of public transit in Vientiane. The preferred modes of transport are motorbikes and private cars. Commuters who use private cars lie in the higher income group, while the low-income group consists of residents who use motorbikes. In addition, the low-income group takes longer to commute as compared to the high-income group. Overall, the lack of public mode choices encourages the use of private cars, leading to critical inequality between low and high-income groups.

Abstract: Reduction of total travel time for the bus mode emerges as the most important element in a program aimed at attracting motorcyclists towards public transport and away from the motorcycle mode.
