Info

10% discount of fare is provided for passengers traveling within stations in West New Territories. KCR Light Rail and KCR buses provide feeder services for Octopus users of West Rail to link the residents far away to West Rail Stations (KCRC 2004). 2.2 Transportation Mode Before we go into details of changing transportation mode of residents, we first define the term “transportation mode”. Transportation mode means a method by which people and goods are transported (i.e. a "car" or a "bicycle" or a "bus") (Smith 1997). Changing in transportation mode of a person means that once he changes his movement method from one transportation system that he usually use to another one that he has not used or seldom use. A person will not change his transportation mode suddenly because of the inertia of human beings. A change in transportation mode may be caused by internal factors of a person or external factors. For instance, a person may change his/her traveling pattern and changes the transportation mode. For example, a person’s change his preference of traveling from cheap fare to fast trip may lead to a change in transportation mode from bus to railway. For external factors, change in transportation mode may be caused by change in the service of the existing transport. For example, if the frequency of the bus decreases, people who do not have much patience will 9
change their transportation mode to the more frequent rail service. It may also be caused by removed or addition of existing or new transportation system. For example, the cancellation of a bus route will divert the existing passengers to minibus or taxi. On the other hand, the opening of a railway system will attract passengers from other means of transport like bus and minibus. After the opening of West Rail, many people have changed their transportation mode to West Rail. It is important to determine different transportation modes in West New Territories in order to compare their difference in characteristics, and to investigate the reasons why passengers choose a particular transportation mode. 2.3 The Purposes of Travel Trip People traveling from one place to another must have their purpose. According to Hanson (1995), there are generally eight types of trip purposes: work trips, shopping trips, shopping trips, recreation trips, school trips, business trips, home trips and others. As a trip is defined as one-way movement, whenever a person goes to work or shopping from home, they finally must back to their home. Therefore, the home trip is founded to be the most popular purpose for travel trip in metropolitan area of North American. It account for 35-45% of the total trips. Work, shopping and social/recreation trips account for 10-15% of the total trips (Hanson, 1995). 10
