increase by 0.6%. Conversely, for every 5% decrease in waiting time for a bus there will be a
0.2% decrease in jitney commutership. For van, walking, hired motorbike, and other modes, mode
share will decrease by 0.1% for every 5% decrease in waiting time for a bus. For taxi and long tailed
boat modes, a decrease in commutership will be less than 0.1%.
7.1.3. Reducing total cost of bus mode
There are several measures to reduce the cost of bus such as adjusting fare structure, offering
concession on purchase of monthly tickets, etc. Table XIV provides that for every 5% decrease in total
cost of bus, number of bus riders will increase by 0.3%. For every 5% decrease in total cost of bus,
jitney ridership will decrease by 0.1%. For all other available access modes, decrease in ridership is not
so significant.
7.1.4. Reducing in-vehicle travel time of van mode
There are several measures that can be applied to reduce the in-vehicle travel time of the van mode.
Providing HOV lanes or allowing vans to use bus lanes are a few of these. It was found that for every
decrease of 5% in an in-vehicle travel time for the van mode, the vancommuter ship will increase by
