Assignment 2 - Modal Shift

The city administrator is drafting a plan to reduce traffic congestion by shifting commuters from private cars to public transportation. To effectively influence this modal shift, the administrator would need to implement measures like improving bus routes and schedules, increasing bus frequency, and lowering bus fares to make public transportation faster and more affordable than driving. A stated preference survey found that reducing bus travel times significantly influenced people's choice of transportation, with a 25% modal shift when travel times dropped to 30 minutes from the original 45 minutes.
