Abstract

On the basis of 2001 Madrid census data, the empirical analysis indicates that gender and travel time considerations are important in explaining the variation in commute mode choice. In this paper, two ordered logit models have been employed to explore the influence of gender, travel time on commuting mode choice The purpose of this paper is to analyze whether an ordered regression model with different travel time gives an adequate description of the commuting mode choice and to what extent the available covariates are determinants of this process. And also the gender was taken into account in secondary ordered logit model. In other words, we analyze to which degree travel time commuting by car and by public transit have a significant influence on commute mode choice.
