“…Moreover, PMS-II (basic information on the availability of a parking lot + either availability of VMS or directional information inside the parking lot) is considered as a higher disutility (-0.7310) by the drive-alone users than PMS-III (basic information on the availability of a parking lot + availability of VMS + directional information inside the parking lot) (-0.5005). It should be mentioned that most of the parking facilities in the study area lack smart PMSs such as VMS, which display real-time information on the number of available spaces at the parking lots ( 5 ). Because of this, the survey respondents seem to be unaware of such smart and improved parking facilities, and appear to be satisfied with the existing scenario in which only basic information on the availability of a parking lot is available, perceiving it to be the best.…”

“…Then, importance and satisfaction ratings in relation to the attributes were elicited from users who accessed the metro stations using their private vehicles. To collect their ratings, the users were intercepted at the parking lots at the metro stations in Delhi where they park their vehicles before proceeding to ride the metro ( 5 ). Subsequently, the user ratings were analyzed by revised importance–performance analysis (revised IPA) to identify the critical areas for intervention.…”

“…In such a scenario, if park and ride facilities are introduced along the metro corridor, they can serve as suitable access modes by enabling the drive-alone users to park their vehicles at intermediate parking facilities typically located near transit stations, and ride to their destinations using transit ( 5 ). Moreover, park and ride may prove to be an appropriate urban travel demand management strategy because it reduces traffic congestion and demand for parking at destination locations because drive-alone users have partially switched to public transport ( 6 ).…”

Park and ride facilities can be a potential instrument for addressing the rising congestion problems and ensuring sustainable urban mobility in major Indian cities, equipped with fast and excellent metro systems. The present study attempts to understand the travel behavior of commuters (four-wheeled private vehicle users only) in relation to the introduction of park and ride as a sustainable and economical alternative mode of travel to driving alone in a private vehicle in the context of Delhi, India. The present study measures the perceived benefit to drive-alone users in Delhi with regard to their willingness to pay (WTP) for switching to a better-quality park and ride service instead of using their private vehicles. Choice-based responses along with socioeconomic and travel information were collected from 559 drive-alone users using a tablet-based stated preference survey instrument. The responses were then analyzed using a multinomial logit (MNL) model. Further, WTP estimates of the noncost attributes were calculated to derive the perceived benefit to drive-alone users if they were to switch to using a park and ride service. The study also developed a generalized cost (GC) equation using the parameter and WTP estimates derived from the MNL model. Finally, the study conducted a post-estimation analysis using the GC equation to examine the influences of identified explanatory attributes on the GC for drive-alone users who switched to park and ride. “Trip length,”“parking cost,” and “parking type” exerted a significant influence on the generalized cost, indicating that drive-alone users could expect considerable savings (perceived benefit with regard to utility gain) if they were to choose park and ride.

“…A further investigation on the egress segment of the trip would be useful, particularly given the somewhat different mix of modes used for egress compared with access. Moreover, this research did not control the influence of personal social attributes and preferences [45]. Finally, when considering the response differences between local areas, one needs to admit the possibility of self-selection with regard to mode choice and response to the attributes of those particular local environments.…”

The contributions of the access and egress portions of public transport trips to overall travel satisfaction merit more attention. This study collected responses from intercepted regular urban rail travelers at three metro stations with distinct built-form and land-use characteristics. Local conditions of access on foot, by bicycle, or on a bus were evaluated retrospectively on a five-point satisfaction scale and compared with an independent survey of the same access routes. Three-factor theory and dummy variable regression methods were used to identify the factor structure of environmental attributes under different access means. In the results, access and egress satisfaction were more important than metro trip satisfaction in overall trip satisfaction for walking and cycling modes. Access distance was not significant for walking and marginally negative for cycling satisfaction. For pedestrians, street connectivity, pathway directness, shade, greenery, and crossing safety were all significant (p < 0.05), explaining 51% of the variance in expressed satisfaction. For bicyclists, directness, distance, service, and parking facilities were significant in satisfaction, accounting for 62% of variance. In the bus access model, we found that bus stop location is very important, with passengers also very concerned about the walk experience to the bus stop. Satisfaction with access and egress environments is important in overall satisfaction with travel by public transport.

“…The advantage of RIDIT is that, sometimes, the rating data may not be adequately analyzed using statistical methods such as chi-square or t-test, but RIDIT might be beneficial as its analysis is distribution free ( 11 , 12 ). This study calculated the mean RIDIT values for each attribute identified earlier using the steps mentioned ( 13 , 14 ):…”

The Indian government has tried to promote public transport usage in metropolitan areas. However, strategies for restraining the use of private vehicles or promoting public transport for regional trips must also be explored. To encourage commuters to use existing transit systems for regional trips, it is important to understand their needs and to facilitate such trips. The present study aims to identify the attributes important for commuters and to discover potential areas for improvement in the existing regional transit systems. In the study, 27 attributes related to regional transit systems were ranked according to the stated importance and satisfaction ratings of commuters using a “relative to an identified distribution integral transformation” (RIDIT) system. The mean RIDIT values of these 27 attributes were further used to perform “importance satisfaction analysis” (ISA) using two different approaches to identify precisely the attributes that require improvement under different market conditions. The study is demonstrated with the example of the National Capital Region of India. The outcome of this study not only specifies attributes to concentrate on to enhance the service of the existing regional transit system but also highlights how the selection of an appropriate ISA approach can maximize the efficiency of the regional transit systems and help developing countries with limited resources. The study could assist regional transit authorities in prioritizing the attributes that need focus and maximizing efficiency in the use of available resources.
