“…However, this charging would be opposed by the public, particularly motorcycle and car users who are the majority (about 80%). Thus, the public participation process and educational programs on sustainable transport development should be implemented together with the transport planning process [33].…”

a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f oAvailable online xxxx Keywords: Bus Rapid Transit Stated preference Logit model Car user Motorcycle user Asian developing cityMany developing Asian cities consider a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in their public transport planning because of its advantages, offering lower investment cost and flexible implementation over rail systems. The objective of this research is to assess the potential of BRT for attracting travelers from passenger cars and motorcycles. Three different BRT systems were designed for the main corridor passing through Khon Kaen City in Thailand. The study developed modal split models for predicting the choices of passenger car users and motorcycle users. The models were developed based on a Stated Preference (SP) survey. It was found that BRT could attract significantly private vehicle users to change mode choice. The proportion of motorcycle users shifting is higher than passenger car users. However, the majority of private vehicle users still prefer their own private vehicles. Both travel time and travel cost affects the mode choice, in which travel time has a highly significant effect on passenger car users' choice of BRT, but travel cost has a highly significant effect on motorcyclists' choice. Some socio-economic factors, including gender, age, driving license holding and residence location also influence the choice of BRT.

Introduction The objective of the paper is to research the historic development of the Austrian transport policy. It explores when a transport strategy was made for the first time, from whom, and which purpose was pursuit. It shows how the objectives of the transport strategy changed over time and when passenger and freight transport took over to become the main focus of the planning process. Furthermore it is researched when, and if, there was a change from a solely sectorial mono-modal transport strategy (road, rail separated) towards an integrated transport planning process and when, and if, there was a development away from a demand-fulfillment-driven transport planning paradigm towards a transport-demandmanagement driven transport planning strategy. Methods The information used stemmed from an analysis of existing transport master plans and other political documents and reports published in Austria within the last decades. In a subsequent step the results of this analysis are assessed against the so called BIdeal Decision Making Process^(IDMP) developed in former research activities, and shows in a clear way how the transport strategy in Austria evolved and improved over time. Results Comprehensive overview of the development of Austria's transport strategy over time including all means of transport. ConclusionThe Austrian transport strategy evolved over the last 40 years from a sectorial, demand-fulfillment-driven transport strategy towards an integrated multi-modal, demand-management-driven transport strategy including some environmental issues. Further, an outlook is provided in which direction the national transport planning strategies should be developed to be able to tackle future challenges such economic, social and ecologic sustainability.

“…Furthermore, the initial planning of this system did not refer to its potential demand, as it only serves one-third of the potential demand [24]. Difficulties in the quality of data due to fast growth situation in cities in developing countries hinder the effective planning since the accurate model heavily based on the data availability [25]. However, the vision-led decision-making such as in BRT Jakarta faces many problems when the leader is out of office.…”

Rapid urbanization and motorization in developing countries are empirically engendering the unsustainable urban transport. Jakarta is now suffering from its negative consequences such as traffic congestion, accident, air pollution, noise, resources depletion, and environmental degradation. The implementation of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in Jakarta as one of the innovative urban transport policy in Indonesia is expected to overcome the urban transport problems and contribute to sustainability transition. Unfortunately, after a decade of BRT operation, the daily patronage has been declining over years and the traffic congestion in Jakarta is still deteriorating. There is a growing awareness of the governments of Indonesia towards more sustainable urban transport that states in the National MidTerm Development Planning 2015-2019 to give a priority for the improvement and development of rapid transit system in urban areas, including the further development of BRT Jakarta and its dissemination to other cities in Indonesia. However, for the effective urban transport improvement, the barriers which impede a shift to more sustainable transport need to be identified. This study aims to identify barriers encountered in the implementation of BRT Jakarta so that the question of why the progress towards sustainability has been slow through this system can be answered. Strategic Niche Management (SNM) approach is adopted to reveal the barriers in the implementation process and the operation of BRT Jakarta. The important measures in the implementation process such as decisionmaking framework, financing system, and approval procedure are described. The result shows that technological, government policy and political, and the control of infrastructure and maintenance aspects are the main barriers that hinder the effective implementation and further development of BRT Jakarta. The barriers identified in this study may be useful for the planners and policy makers in Indonesia and other developing countries to establish implementation-oriented strategies towards more sustainable urban transport.
