碩士 / 國立中央大學 / 土木工程研究所 / 99 / In recent years, governments have been devoting to the development of public transportation systemsforenergy-saving and carbon-reduction.In remote areas where the demand for a public transportation system is not high, if a traditional bus at fixedfrequency and routeis still adopted, the bus company may experience financial loss; if service is curtailed,it will further reduce the willingness of people to take the bus. At present, although many governments subsidize bus companies, their service performance continues to lack improvement,creating a vicious cyclein the operating environment.
In order to solvethe difficulties of public transportation service in remote areas, a new business model must be developed. This research focuses on a project of Taoyuan County Government, adopting the “Demand Responsive Transit System, DRTS”, which has been used for many years overseas, and using Taoyuan County, Fu-Hsing Townshipas the research subject to perform the case study. DRTS is a para-public transportationsystem combining traditional bus as well as taxi service that can offer users greater convenience and door to door service with more flexibility and competitiveness. One of thsuccessful keyof DRTS is the reasonable fare,which is highly acceptableto the people. Since there is no practical example to refer to at present, the determination of farecan refer to the willingness to pay on the part of local residents. The use of this principle and a questionnaire to analyze the willingness of local residents to pay for DRTS can provide suggestions for setting the fare of the DRTS in the future.
This research collected 551 effective questionnaires.In order to estimate the willingnessto pay of local resident, this study constructed aWTP Model, in which Contingent Valuation Method and MultipleRegression Analysis Method are used. The results showed that age, profession, average monthly income, frequency of travelling by bus, and travel distance all affect the willingness to pay.Having calculated the willingness to pay for different distances in Fu-Hsing Township, the results show the following figures:NTD 14 for a minimum distance of 0.8 km and NTD 154 for the maximum distance of 61 km.
For easy application, the study refers to the “REPORT ON THE SURVEY OF FAMILYINCOME AND EXPENDITURE, 2009” prepared by the DGBAS, to explore the determination of fare, as well as to analyze the relationships of subsidy versus fare, and the ratio of transport expense against income per household per year versus fare.
