West Rail vs. Bus - Lingnan University Library

Proposition 4: White-collar, young, highly educated and high household income
people are more willing to travel West Rail
Crosstabulation is used to determine if there is any relationship between the
willingness of traveling West Rail and the demographic factor. Table 5.2.5 shows the
comparison of different occupations of the West Rail and bus passenger. It shows that
occupations do not have a significant impact on the traveling pattern. The Pearson chi
Square test shows the p-value is 0.944. It means that there is no significant
relationship between occupations and traveling pattern.

White collar 38.6% 61.4% 100.0%
Blue collar 37.5% 62.5% 100.0%
Student or housewife 34.8% 65.2% 100.0%

Table 5.2.6 shows the comparison of the age groups for the West Rail and
bus passengers. Age does not have a significant impact on the traveling pattern. Table
5.2.7 shows the comparison of the education levels for the West Rail and bus
passengers. For the Chi-square test, the p-value is 0.304. Thus, we cannot say that it
has a significant relationship.
