THE ROLE OF CAPTIVITY IN AGGREGATE SHARE MODELS OF INTERCITY PASSENGER TRAVEL

The research reported in this paper develops and estimates aggregate models of intercity passenger mode choice. In contrast to standard models of intercity travel, the primary focus of this paper is the extent to which travel time and cost elasticities change. A secondary focus of the paper considers the effect that past changes in common carrier market structures have had on intercity modal shares.
