Abstract

In recent years, intercity mobility in Japan has steadily improved as a result of deregulation in the transport sector, improved transportation facilities, technical innovations, and other factors. However, focusing in local intercity mobility, there are becoming low intercity mobility due to the city located off Sinkansen route and withdrawal from less profitable business. The purpose of this study was to identify regional disparities in terms of intercity mobility by public transportation. We propose three mobility indices for regional disparity between 36 intercity public transportations. These are individual mobility, in terms of passenger volume and mobility in terms of regional population. For the case study, regional disparities in intercity mobility provided by public transportation services could be quantitatively estimated.
