N2 - In the developing country of China, driving used to be considered a travel mode that symbolized identity. However, with the explosive growth of auto ownership, traffic congestion and parking challenges have become increasingly serious in large cities. Some auto owners have switched to urban rail transit for commuting. The reasons behind this shift are worthy of in-depth studies. In this paper, a binary logit model is developed for auto owners in Shanghai, China, to identify influential factors and quantify their impacts on probabilities of choices between auto and rail for commute. The model involves a variety of explanatory variables including rail travel time, station access/egress distance, rail fare, rail waiting time, in-car time as well as some commuters' socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. The research findings can aid in proposing programs to improve other existing transit facilities and providing a basis for quantitative assessment of alternative improvement programs.
