Planners have theorized that transitioning commuter rail systems to regional rail networks will increase ridership, balance mode share, and reduce automobile use in North American cities. This process is currently underway in Ontario, Canada, as service is being expanded throughout the GO Transit commuter rail network.

Evaluation of Relationships Between Ridership Demand and Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Indicators Focused on Land Use Density, Diversity, and Accessibility: A Case Study of Existing Metro Stations in Bangkok [PDF]
AbstractThe purpose of this work is to support the transit-oriented development (TOD) in Thailand. The main research objective is to explore the relationship between ridership demand and TOD indicators, which is expected to be the first question that a developer in Thailand must be able to answer in order to direct their development plan in the right ...

Examining the Bus Ridership Demand: Application of Spatio-Temporal Panel Models [PDF]
An important tool to evaluate the influence of these public transit investments on transit ridership is the application of statistical models. Drawing on stop-level boarding and alighting data for the Greater Orlando region, the current study estimates spatial panel models that accommodate for the impact of spatial and temporal observed and unobserved ...

Spatiotemporal Heterogeneous Effects of Built Environment and Taxi Demand on Ride-Hailing Ridership
Researchers have applied a series of global models to investigate the link between the built environment and ride-hailing ridership based on ride-hailing data from one specific transportation network company (TNC). However, these research designs inadequately represent real ride-hailing demand within a specific spatial range and cannot reflect ...

Public transit plays an essential role in mitigating traffic congestion, reducing emissions, and enhancing travel accessibility and equity. One of the critical challenges in designing public transit systems is distributing finite service supplies temporally and spatially to accommodate time-varying and space-heterogeneous travel demands.
