Abstract

This paper surveys the travel behavior of bus-use commuters in Yangon, Myanmar and analyzes the bus route-choice models with the collected data. The revealed preference survey combined with the stated-preference survey was implemented in the western and southern parts of Yangon City. 1,240 choice data of 169 individuals were collected including 169 (RP) choice data and 1,080 SP choice data. Then, the bus route-choice is analyzed with a binary Logit model. After checking the reliability of stated preference (SP) data by estimating the SP model, the RP/SP combined model is estimated. Additionally, the RP/SP model incorporating the monthly income is also estimated. They show that the bus-use commuters prefer the high-quality buses to the truck bus. They also show that the estimated value of travel time is about 10.1 Kyats/minute and it increase as the monthly income increases.
