Enhancing MRT purple line offset project through forecasting ridership using the direct demand ridership model

Journal of Infrastructure, Policy and Development
The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Purple Line project is part of the Thai government’s energy- and transportation-related greenhouse gas reduction plan. The number of passengers estimated during the feasibility study period was used to calculate the greenhouse gas reduction effect of project implementation.

Rails Won't Save America [PDF]

, 2008
Rising gas prices and concerns about greenhouse gases have stimulated calls to build more rail transit lines in urban areas, increase subsidies to Amtrak, and construct a large-scale intercity high-speed rail system. These megaprojects will cost hundreds

Rail transit ridership changes in COVID-19: Lessons for station area planning in California

Journal of Urban Mobility
Emerging evidence suggests that the recovery of transit ridership post-COVID has been uneven, especially for rail transit. This study aims to understand the station area land use, built form, and transit network characteristics that explain station-level

Spatial Modeling of Travel Demand Accounting for Multicollinearity and Different Sampling Strategies: A Stop-Level Case Study

Journal of Advanced Transportation
Stop-level ridership data serve as a basis for various studies toward increasing bus patronage and promoting sustainable land use planning. To address limitations found in previous studies, this study proposes a novel approach based on Geographically ...

Benefits from a new transit line: Exploring the impact of rare users and spatially heterogeneous variations in intensity of use

Journal of Public Transportation
What are the city-wide benefits of introducing a new transit mode? Justification of a new transit mode is often based on claims of transformational change regarding mode share, ridership, or passenger-kilometers travelled (PKT).
