Modelling Travellers’ Choice Between Park-and-Ride and Other Modes of Travel to Work in the Context of Risk and Uncertainty
Park-and-ride (PnR) is seen as an attractive public transport alternative in low-density cities as it combines the efficiency of a mass transit system with the flexibility of the car (Holguin-Veras, Hart, Reilly, & Aros-Vera, 2012). Perth’s newest rail lines were developed with the expectation that PnR would play a major role. However, the system was under stress in its first year of operation with commuters having trouble securing a bay at the railway stations (Martinovich, 2008). This paper focuses on the choice to commute by PnR and the trade-off between departure time and the uncertainty of securing a parking bay. The paper also explores other sources of uncertainty in the mode choice setting: day-to-day travel time variations when travelling by car and crowding on public transport.
