In this study, we surveyed public transport commuters who live in Dhaka’s suburban areas and regularly commute to the main city. We find that the majority of the respondents use non-motorized modes of transportation (NMTs); however, the shares of motorized forms of transportation (MTs) such as human-haulers and buses are higher for egress compared to access. The choice of modes, both for the access and egress stages, are examined using multinomial logit (MNL) and nested logit (NL) models. The results show that rail travelers are more likely to choose MTs for egress compared to bus travelers. This is mainly because of longer distances between rail stations and trip destinations at the activity end. Among other factors, travelers’ income, and gender, as well as mode-specific attributes such as waiting time, travel time, travel cost, degree of seating comfort, and availability of the modes are found significant. Female commuters are more likely to choose rickshaw over other modes, while lower-income commuters show a higher tendency to choose paratransit and bus transportation when other variables are controlled. Finally, the paper discusses the implications of the findings for the improvement of first-and-last-mile connectivity of Dhaka’s public transportation system.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47173,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Transportation","volume":"24 ","pages":"Article 100025"},"PeriodicalIF":12.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1077291X2200025X/pdfft?md5=7b5ed93cf19af4ef8d54a6a9e41f325c&pid=1-s2.0-S1077291X2200025X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"54977561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One question about the demand response feeder transit operation is whether it can be optimized with door-to-door service or with temporary stops for picking up and delivering passengers. Obviously, door-to-door service eliminates passengers’ walking distances, but it increases passenger in-vehicle travel times and vehicle operating distance and costs. On the other hand, demand responsive feeder transit with temporary stops, which designates the temporary locations picking up and dropping passengers, minimizes bus operating distance and time as well as passenger in-vehicle times, although it increases passengers’ walking distances and times. The developed model uses metaheuristic approaches, including two main algorithms; a passenger’s clustering algorithm based on Particle swarm optimization (PSO) approach and a vehicle routing algorithm that uses simulated annealing (SA) solving method. The algorithm developed an optimal algorithm for clustering and grouping of passengers considering their physical locations and time windows then it was integrated with the authors’ previously developed algorithm for the optimal flexible feeder bus routing as a mixed integer model that objects to minimize the total costs including both passengers traveling times and operator’s operating costs The results of this study showed that although feeder networks with temporary stops always lower operating costs and lessen in-vehicle travel time compared to those with a door-to-door option, the total costs and optimal routings are highly sensitive to the location of passengers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47173,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Transportation","volume":"24 ","pages":"Article 100021"},"PeriodicalIF":12.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1077291X22000212/pdfft?md5=7deb5c3d22cfcb7d53529ba0234dd942&pid=1-s2.0-S1077291X22000212-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"54977535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a new bus rapid transit (BRT) service, CMAX, in Columbus, Ohio, USA, as an example, we compare its impact on ridership based on a pre-post and quasi-experimental analysis framework. We conduct the pre-post analysis using a ridership space-time cube exploring a massive Automatic Passenger Counter (APC) database. Differences in total passenger counts before and after the BRT intervention indicate a 36% increase in ridership within its corridor. However, this patronage increase may not be attributable solely to the new public transit service. Potential confounding effects include systemwide ridership trends and a new unlimited transit pass program for downtown workers. To address these issues, we adopt a quasi-experimental study design with a difference-in-differences (DiD) identification strategy. We use propensity score matching (PSM) to match a counterfactual control group with the treatment group when implementing DiD model. After accounting for confounding effects, we find a less than 5% increase but not statistically significant impacts of CMAX on ridership. Our results support the argument that a simple pre-post analysis ignoring confounding effects can lead to a misleading evaluation of a new public transit service’s direct impact on ridership.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47173,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Transportation","volume":"24 ","pages":"Article 100035"},"PeriodicalIF":12.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1077291X22017350/pdfft?md5=6e56bfaa3a8d46d593d7b3e7d8db2086&pid=1-s2.0-S1077291X22017350-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"54978029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
