| Abstract | In developing countries, the continuing increase of population in big cities always raise many
problems for the authorities related to infrastructure systems such as water supply system,
transportation system, etc. In the case of transportation system, expansion of the road network
is always in urgent need. However, due to limitation on the city's size, the expansion of the
road network alone cannot cope with the increasing travel demand in the whole city if a good
public transportation network is not established. In this research, the establishment of bus
system for Hanoi City (Vietnamese Capital) is investigated. Multinomial logit model is used
to represent the behavior of traveler in selection of transport mode and a mathematical model
is proposed to solve for finding adequate fare level and frequency of bus. Future requirement
on bus share, which is planned by the government, is the only target of this research in the
context of a subsidy-minimization program. |
