Common mode-choice models developed under assumption that one will behave rationally to maximize her utility. Arguably, failed to address two key factors: additional income and local interaction.It is evident that most public transportation aims to reduce transport cost, which in result generates additional income and people interaction. Therefore, possible existence of phase in which people purchase automobile after additional income and social prestige is an attractive proposition. An agentbased model of artificial agents created and showed interaction with her neighbors and then update her state, either automobile or public transportation, according to probability function. The higher ratio of agent's wealth to her neighbors', the higher probability to purchase automobile. Our model suggests that transportation system is an ever-moving system of three states: transit-oriented, automobile-oriented, and equilibrium. It also describes inverse relation between state of the system and its social implications. By favoring the poor encourages people to view automobile much more prestigious than public transport, hence prestige-driven behavior emerged automobile-oriented system. The model could also be viewed as a generalized form of conventional model. It shows that rational behavior and utility maximization only occurs when purchasing automobiles is considered costly, thus, functionality and degree of necessity becomes critical.

The paper presents a very simple toy model that is simulated to experience some aspects related to what is it people want and need when related to the social happiness. By outlining some short discussions related to the distinguishing of what we call "want" and "need", we see how both microsocial aspects may emerge the happiness as well as the urge to innovate and affinity to the collective creativity and social progress.

Indonesian traditional villagers have a tradition for the sake of their own social and economic security named "nyumbang". There are wide variations of the traditions across the archipelago, and we revisit an observation to one in Subang, West Java, Indonesia. The paper discusses and employs the evolutionary game theoretic insights to see the process of "gantangan", of the intertwining social cohesion and economic expectation of the participation within the traditional activities. The current development of the "gantangan" tradition is approached and generalized to propose a view between the economic and social sphere surrounding modern people. While some explanations due to the current development of "gantangan" is drawn, some aspects related to traditional views complying the modern life with social and economic expectations is outlined.
