碩士 / 國立成功大學 / 都市計劃學系碩博士班 / 97 / The deficiency of mass transit in Taiwan is serious, with only some of the major cities having a developed rapid transit system. Some small cities or rural areas possess only a bus system, and some cities have no mass transit system at all. In addition, many small cities and rural areas face a shortage of equipment and insufficient demand.
The government’s only attempt at countering these problems has been by subsidizing bus services in rural areas, as most funding and resources are put into the MRT and railroad systems. But the subsidy cannot increase the usage of the mass transit systems in these cities and rural areas, nor can it lead to a sufficient level of bus services in these areas.
This research addresses solving transit problems in small cities and rural areas by proposing the development of a Para-Transit system. The Para-Transit system can provide services with not only a lower ridership, but with a greater number of alternate routes compared to other modes of mass transit. It can satisfy the needs of these areas with fewer people and a lower amount of travel demand. Some kinds of Para-Transit systems are already operating in Taiwan, but there are no rules to regulate this system. Therefore the use of Para-Transit systems is still illegal.
To estimate the amount of travel demand and the preference for Para-Transit in small cities and rural areas, this study uses Stated Preference (SP) as the method to establish the travel demand model.
