suburban railway transport

The influence of tariffs on passenger choice of transportation mode in a suburban connection

For trips to the suburban area, passengers who do not own a vehicle typically use either a bus or a suburban railway. The main purposes of such trips are usually work, education, tourism and leisure, medical treatment or healthcare services, visiting relatives and friends, and similar activities. In most cases, passengers plan their trip before departure, which includes choosing the mode of transportation, departure and arrival times, trip duration, transportation costs, and other factors. All these factors differently influence the passenger's final choice of transportation mode.
