    The city administrator is drafting a plan to reduce traffic congestion by shifting commuters from private cars to public transportation. To effectively influence this modal shift, the administrator would need to implement measures like improving bus routes and schedules, increasing bus frequency, and lowering bus fares to make public transportation faster and more affordable than driving. A stated preference survey found that reducing bus travel times significantly influenced people's choice of transportation, with a 25% modal shift when travel times dropped to 30 minutes from the original 45 minutes.

    ASSIGNMENT 2 (a) In an effort to reduce traffic congestion, a city administrator is drawing up a plan to influence modal shift from private

    car to public transport. If you are the administrator, explain briefly all necessary measures that you think will influence the shift effectively. (b) State preference survey has been conducted to study the effect of reduction in bus travel time in influencing modal shift. The aggregated data of the survey is given in Table 1. Choose a suitable model and calibrate all parameters in your model. Table 1 Modal Shift
    Bus travel time (Minutes) Modal shift to buses 40 0.05 35 0.09 30 0.25 25 0.50 20 0.55
