    Evaluating Bangkok's express passenger van service based on Stated Preference techniques
    (2006-12-01)
    Passenger van is a new form of the small transit service in Bangkok. In comparison to bus, passenger van offers shorter journey time, increased headway, improved reliability, higher levels of comfort, less frequent stopping, guaranteed seating and air conditioning. Equipped with such advantages, it is perhaps unsurprising that the advent of passenger van has provoked noticeable changes in the travel behaviour of Bangkok's commuters. This paper considers the particular case of passenger van services which route alignments are operated on the expressway. The objectives of this paper are to investigate the preferences of public transit users in general, and passenger van users in particular, towards several level-of-service (LOS) attributes, and to exploit such insights in the planning of future services. The principal survey tool is a Stated Preference (SP) data collection. The analysis was exploited the merger of the various SP experiments and the phenomenon of repeated observations (Jack-Knife approach).
