Strategy Choice in Transit Networks

Public transport passengers are assumed to choose routes that minimize the expected travel times. In networks with high-frequency services this requires the adoption of hyper paths. An experimental validation of the hyper path model has been carried out through a web-based survey. Findings of previous work on the survey are compared with a new cluster analysis of travelers’ behavior as reported by respondents in the stated preference section of the survey. Results show that the behavior usually assumed in transit models is not the most common approach to route choice in transit network. Implications for transit assignment models are discussed.
