“…In Malaysia, however, only a few known studies have tried to capture respondents' preferences for modal shift using stated preference data (e.g. Nurdden et al, 2007;Borhan et al, 2011;Khoo et al, 2012;Leong et al, 2009;Chiu Chuen et al, 2014).…”

a b s t r a c tIn Malaysia, transportation accounts for almost 70% of carbon monoxide emissions. This study sought to discover whether intelligently changing policies for the private and public transport sectors can affect mode choice of private car owners in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. Results of a random parameter logit model identified the most significant parameters affecting respondents' utility measures. These were introducing a congestion fee in private transport mode; and also access, comfort and the frequency of the available public transport. Respondents' marginal value estimates showed that they are willing to pay up to 175% of their hourly wage to have a more frequent and more accessible public transport. Moreover, the value of travel time showed that persons with longer commute time by car and bus are willing to pay more to save travel time. This is estimated about 25-50% of hourly wage of respondents. Simulation of results indicate that introducing the congestion fee has the largest impact both in modal shift and in reducing the number of cars used in the Klang Valley area. Overall results of this study suggested that any government intervention through innovative transport policy implementation such as pricing and providing more efficient public transport could result in 70% modal shift among current car users to public transport.

“…Crôtte et al (2009) found a same-year fuel price elasticity of VKT of -0.12 in Mexico City, a city with traffic jams of a similar notoriety to Jakarta's. Khoo et al (2012) reported a short-run fuel price elasticity of vehicle trips of -0.16 in Malaysia. Delsaut (2014) reported a short-run fuel price elasticity of VKT of -0.14 in France, with a long-run response of -0.28.…”

Indonesia has serious traffic jams. This study uses data from 19 Indonesian toll roads over 2008-2015 to calculate the effects of Indonesia's historic recent fuel subsidy reforms on motor vehicle travel. The timing of the reforms was determined by budgetary and political factors, providing a suitable setting for estimating a causal effect. We control for a broad set of other factors potentially influencing traffic flows. Estimates using monthly data suggest an immediate fuel price elasticity of motor vehicle flows on the roads in our study of -0.1, increasing to -0.2 when responses over a year are considered. We estimate that Indonesia's fuel subsidy reforms of 2013 and 2014 had reduced traffic pressure on these roads in the second half of 2015 by around 10% relative to the counterfactual without reform. A move to an adequate fuel excise system could contribute to more free-flowing traffic, while generating revenue for infrastructure and other investment.

“…Transport evolution and diversification in recent years has spurred the development involved with the wealth of transport options such as tram, metro, bus service etc. (Kocher, 2015). This would reverse back to the other modes, like walking and cycling.…”

Institute, 2014). Transportation demand management (TDM) strategies are found to be an effective approach to influence factors concerning convenience, safety, comfort, fare and land use amongst others to encourage behavioural changes in favour of mode choice (Suzuki et al., 2013). Over the past few decades, there are some eighty TDM policies that have emerged (Habibian and Kermanshah, 2013). Importantly, these TDM policies use various approaches to create an impact in travel decisions either by improving mobility options or providing incentives/disincentives, and accomplishing a particular trip goal through non-transportation means such as remote work, telework and others (Cumming et al., 2019). The improvement of transport options aimed directly at emphasising on the role of other ridership options and transit improvement such as car sharing (Mangan, 2018), cycling improvement (Clifton et al., 2012), bike sharing (Shaheen and Martin, 2015), park and ride (Hounsell et al., 2011), bus rapid transit or BRT (Federal Transit Administration, 2020) are among others. The provision of incentive and disincentive programmes include tax deduction (Éireann, 2019), reward point redemption programme (Pluntke and Prabhakar, 2013), off peak travel (Ettema ARTICLE HISTORY ABSTRACT
