碩士 / 國立交通大學 / 管理學院運輸物流學程 / 105 / Public transportation had been the most commonly used vehicle of the people in Taiwan before the private vehicles became common. However, with the popularity of private vehicles, the usage rate of public transportation was dropped rapidly. But as a densely populated island, the low usage rate of public transportation will cause the more serious traffic congestion in Taiwan. Therefore, the promotion of public transportation usage rate will be an urgent issue for the government in Taiwan.
This study will discuss the affecting factors of public transportation usage rate of counties in Taiwan. First, the study will define the scope of "public transportation"; secondly, the study will select the factors that affect the usage rate of public transportation and then establish a model. Finally, this study will use the method of regression analysis to verify the factors that affecting the usage rate of public transportation.
The main conclusions of this study are as follows:
1. The household income, aging index, the holding ratio of private vehicle and the population ratio of urban planning district all have significant influence on public transportation usage rate.
2. The Government may use the strategy such as “providing the subsidy for impoverished area”, "providing a friendlier public transportation environment for the elders", "reducing the willingness to hold and use private vehicles" and “using the concept of transit-oriented development (TOD) to design the urban planning district” to promote the usage rate of public transportation.
