Investigating the Determining Factors for Transit Travel Demand by Bus Mode in US Metropolitan Statistical Areas

Abstract

This study is an attempt to investigate the determining factors for transit travel demand by bus mode in the United States for Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). The multiple regression results indicate that seven internal factors, which transit managers and operators have control over, and only one external variable, namely gas price, have significant impacts on transit travel demand by bus mode. Transit supply, transit fare, average headway, transit coverage, service intensity, revenue hours, and safety are the contributing internal factors for transit demand by bus. Transit operating agencies can attract more riders by adjusting the influential internal factors that are under their control.
