Abstract

As a new public transport mode, customized bus can provide advanced, bookable, and comfortable services to commuters. For heterogeneous commuters, there are more alternative travel modes to select in their daily travelling. This paper aims at testing the effect of different travel modes including conventional bus, customized bus and automobile on decision behavior of heterogeneous commuters who are car-owners and non-car-owners. The generalized travel cost is defined as the linear weighted sum of economic cost, total travel time and extra-waiting-cost which even consider the commuters’ travel comfort level in the trip time. To show the customized bus on the effect of travel mode choice, a specific simulation is conducted on a test origin-destination pair. The element of travel distance of commuters, extra-waiting-cost and proportion of car-owners are considered. The numerical results indicates that the advantage of customized bus is obvious in the urban transportation while the travel distance of commuters is longer.
