Abstract

In order to study the factors influencing urban rail transit travel behavior, a questionnaire was conducted for residents’ selection of rail transit in Xi'an. Based on the collected data from 1105 valid questionnaires, a binary logistic regression model was established to analyze the influencing factors quantitatively. The results showed that seven factors have statistically significant for rail transit travel behavior including age, occupation, family income, average monthly household transportation costs (T-cost), travel purpose, travel distance, and travel time. Odds ratio analysis revealed that young people and staff were more likely to choose rail transit; the probability of selecting rail transit increased with the increase of family income and the T-cost. In addition, more and more people tend to rail travel with the increase of travel distance and travel time.
