The Probability of Using Car Sharing in Bangkok

Baweena Ruamchart, Manoj Lohatepanont, Pongsa Pornchaiwisekul

Abstract


This research aimed to examine the factors influencing the probability of using car sharing in Bangkok. The study used 612 observations from a survey questionnaire. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression under the concept of logistic regression. In particular, socio-demographic, travel behavior and car-sharing preference attributes were tested to interpret interest in car-sharing. The results revealed the factors influencing the probability of using car sharing were mode of travel, purpose of journey, walking distance, ride-hailing experience, car-sharing experience, expected purpose to choose car-sharing, expected reason to use car-sharing, acceptable longest waiting time for shared-car availability, and car-sharing service price.
