Abstract

Considering the sustained and pervasive popularity of the private vehicle not only in UKM but in most of Malaysian Universities, what makes people use or prefer the car more than public transport? What will facilitate the use of public transport? An understanding of the factors that affect mode choice is essential to the promotion of more sustainable behavior and the achievement of the state's transport targets. A sustainable transport system must provide mobility and accessibility to all urban residents in a safe and environment friendly mode of transport. The survey data collected were used to develop the models. The explanatory variables included in the models were demographic, socio-economic characteristics of individuals, trip characteristics, and mode attributes. A binary logic model was used to identify factors that are significant in determining the choice of transport and to predict the probability of a change in bus and train rider ship with respect to various travel times and cost. Attention will be paid to sensitive factors that will facilitate the use of public transportation system as a tool for addressing congestion and air pollution. Strategies employed includes, increasing parking cost for private cars, increasing the driving age, increasing the toll fees for private cars, restriction the use of private cars in some strategic places, increasing the road tax, speed-monitoring strategy for private cars, restriction the use of old cars in the cities and campuses, redirecting the private cars to a specific route especially in the cities and campuses and ensuring that safety standard are met.
