Abstract
This paper established an evaluation model based on cost-benefit analysis. It incorporates two transport modes, viz. the private car and public transportation. A concept of critical service price is presented to evaluating the relationship between transport service supply and demand. For the inhabitants in the urban fringe, the critical service price is the maximum price they can afford. And from viewpoints of the transport service suppliers, the concept is the minimum price at a certain traffic volume. By analyzing a real case, the inconsistency during the urban fringe development is proved. Finally, briefly discussed is how the relative stakeholders, including the inhabitants in urban fringe, the transport services suppliers, the land developers and local authority, might act to solve this problem.
