Socio-economic effects on digital adoption were generally weak (Cramér’s V < 0.2), but spatial disparities were more pronounced, with long commutes concentrated among Bogor residents (V = 0.341).

Yet, many growing cities' PT fails to meet commuters’ expectations and cannot capture riders. Dhaka faced similar issues, with buses offering inferior service, which was further worsened by congestion. To address this, the city introduced its first Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), intending to attract private vehicle (PV) users. However, it primarily shifted bus riders and failed to reduce PV dependency, motivating this study. A home interview survey collected data from 1513 commuters at four MRT stations, representing diverse land uses, focusing on their travel behavior, perceptions of transit services, and socio-economic characteristics. Factor analysis, Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes (MIMIC), and Discrete Choice Models were used to understand the heterogeneity of prior PT and PV users in their decision-making processes. Demographic and household characteristics significantly influenced mobility shifts, with Rapid-Pass ownership being the key factor, increasing likelihood of prior PT users changing by 15.31 times and prior PV users by 2.60. Social media influences decision-making, especially among females. The study explored how global inflation concerns affect users' mobility decisions, focusing on their trade-offs between time and money. The study also found that parallel alignment of MRT and bus induces unwanted competition between PT modes and causes buses to lose ridership. However, when destinations were within comfortable walking distance from MRT stations, PT and PV users strongly preferred MRT. Overall, the study provides policymakers with insights into balancing PT and PV use to build an efficient urban transport network.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47173,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Transportation","volume":"28 ","pages":"Article 100152"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147396238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In public transport planning, most agencies conduct origin-destination surveys to extract line-level origin-destination matrices. These matrices, however, only partially represent ridership, as only a fraction of travellers are surveyed. Hence, they need to be scaled to real ridership, typically by using automatic passenger counts (APC) and algorithms such as iterative proportional fitting (IPF). This procedure works well for busy lines, where seed matrices present few or no zeros (i.e., absence of observations for a given origin-destination pair), however it becomes less reliable on sparsely used lines, where seed matrices present a high percentage of structural and sampling zeros. It is currently unknown, up to which percentage of zeroes IPF can be reliably used, and how to handle zeroes more generally. In this paper, we apply IPF to simulated (ground truth) and real origin-destination seed matrices to quantify the reliability of IPF and to test different replacement values for zeroes. We work with matching data from automatic passenger counters and a large origin-destination survey with 26,000 + participants on 70 + public transport lines that was conducted in 2022 in Geneva, Switzerland. We find that the reliability of IPF measured by the estimation error exponentially correlates with the percentage of zeros in the seed matrix. We test replacement values of zeroes between 0 and 10 and find that 1 is the best replacement for sampling zeros in the seed matrix to minimize the estimation error and simultaneously improve convergence. Practitioners and academics can use these results to maintain the advantages of IPF in practice (computational lightweight, simplicity, implementation in most common software) yet improve its reliability on sparsely used lines.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47173,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Transportation","volume":"28 ","pages":"Article 100151"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147397360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We collected data on users' trip characteristics, reasons for using MaaS, subscription records, and feedback on the service (e.g., attitudes and opportunities). While existing research explores the diversity in MaaS user travel and subscription behaviours, few studies examine core themes such as attitudes and opportunities from a real-world trial. This study addresses this gap by (1) identifying the heterogeneity in users' travel and actual subscription behaviours through a latent class analysis model, and (2) uncovering diverse core themes (i.e., attitudes and opportunities) to inform the future development of MaaS by using thematic analysis. The latent class analysis reveals three distinct user groups. The findings of this study highlight that multimodal-curious users pay greater attention to MaaS operational issues and app functionalities compared to daily public transport users and regular cost-conscious public transport users. These users tend to have higher car ownership, be slightly older, and are more likely to be PhD students or staff. In contrast, regular cost-conscious public transport users, who comprise a large proportion of undergraduate students, appear to be primarily cost-focused, with particular concern for reducing the bundle price.

This paper addresses emergency bus route design in response to metro disruptions. Unlike the traditional emergency bus routing strategy that provides point-to-point shuttle services between a disrupted station and a turnaround station, this study proposes a novel routing strategy that incorporates nearby transfer stations as additional evacuation endpoints, thereby effectively distributing passenger flows and alleviating congestion at turnaround stations during emergencies. To support this strategy, a multi-objective optimization model is developed to balance evacuation efficiency and passenger travel experience. Furthermore, to address the dynamic and uncertain nature of metro disruptions, a rolling horizon optimization method is introduced to dynamically adjust bus routes based on updated information, thereby enhancing the quality of bus routing decisions under uncertainty. The effectiveness and applicability of the proposed model are validated through a series of case studies.

Public acceptance among Chinese college students, who constitute a major part of the youth population, is a crucial factor determining the popularity of shared e-scooters. In light of the above, this study extends the original Technology Acceptance Model by introducing four additional psychological latent variables (i.e., subjective norms, personal innovativeness, perceived risk, and trust) to develop a comprehensive model to analyze acceptance of shared e-scooters and its influencing factors among Chinese college students. The proposed model was tested using data from an online survey of 428 college students, which collected their attitudes toward shared e-scooters. The calibrated model explains 78.2% of the variance in behavioral intention in the data, exhibiting superior explanatory power. Results reveal that subjective norms (0.823), attitude (0.285), personal innovativeness (0.28), perceived usefulness (0.148), and trust (0.121) have positive impacts on the students’ intention to use shared e-scooters, while perceived risk (-0.129) exhibits a negative influence.

The method combines a transfer reliability model based on gradient boosting, responsible for predicting the reliability of transfers between trains, and a delay model based on probabilistic Bayesian regression, which is used to model train arrival delays. The models are trained on delay data from four Swedish train stations and evaluated on delay data from another two stations, in order to evaluate the generalization performance of the models. We show that the probabilistic delay model, which models train delays following a mixture distribution with two lognormal components, allows to much more realistically model the distribution of actual train delays compared to a standard lognormal model. Finally, we show how these models can be used together to predict the arrival delay distribution at the final destination of the journey. The results indicate that the method accurately predicts the reliability for nine out of ten tested journeys. The method could be used to improve journey planners by providing reliability information to travelers.

To do so we conducted a scoping review of the current literature on public-transit fare equity. We defined fare equity in the form of vertical equity (based on the ability-to-pay principle) and market equity (based on the beneficiary-pay principle). We then screened through 511 unique studies, retaining 24 for analysis. Findings were grouped based on fare attributes (e.g., distance-, time-, service- and user-based fare modulations), fare type and fare integration before combining results in a conceptual model. Distance-, time- and service-based fares were shown to have a positive effect on market equity while only income-based fares always positively impacted vertical equity. User-based fares have shown clear negative effects on market fare equity. The effects of most fare characteristics on fare equity were either not well researched or dependent on local contexts. Lastly, a lack of assessment of the synergies between fare characteristics in their effect on fare equity was also observed. Potential opposite effects of fare characteristics on vertical and market fare equity points to the necessity for public-transit agencies to choose which form of fare equity to promote.
