countries or even in the same area. By collecting data on <strong>West</strong> <strong>Rail</strong> and residents in<br />

<strong>West</strong> New Territories we can develop some strategies for <strong>West</strong> <strong>Rail</strong> to increase its<br />

passenger amount. Although the current situation may not improve significantly, it<br />

can still improve the situation to a certain extent in order to reduce loss. This project<br />

will conduct a survey to investigate the traveling pattern and the reasons for choosing<br />

the transportation mode of the residents. Demographic of residents can help to<br />

determine the characteristics of people who travel on <strong>West</strong> <strong>Rail</strong> and bus. By analyzing<br />

data, motivation for residents to travel on <strong>West</strong> <strong>Rail</strong> and value of time for residents<br />

can be revealed. We can compare the results with the existing <strong>West</strong> <strong>Rail</strong> strategies to<br />

determine if <strong>West</strong> <strong>Rail</strong> uses the right approach to attract passengers.<br />
