ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN MODELLING TRAVELLERS' PREFERENCES FOR DIFFERENT BUS FARE STRUCTURES
Dr Stephane Hess
Institute for Transport Studies, University of Leeds
Abstract:
The complexity of bus fare structures in some cities is often seen as an obstacle to increasing bus patronage. This presentation discusses a recent study looking at travellers' preferences for different fare structures in three cities, making use of random utility models with an explicit treatment of respondent uncertainty in the face of complex fare structures.
All are welcome to attend.
Tea/Coffee and Biscuits will be served from 15.30.
