Abstract

Combined use of bike and train is an efficient and environmentally friendly form of transportation. It not only reduces energy consumption and air pollution but also gives commuters an opportunity to engage in physical activity to stay healthy. The objective of this study was to determine the characteristics of train users that influence the combined use of bike and train. Questionnaires were used to interview those who resided within 3 kilometers of the train stations as well as to interview the train users at the stations. Around 58.0% of the interviewees used private motorized mode, while those who used the trains accounted for only 12.7%. Walking (32.6%) and motorcycle taxi (22.5%) were the popular modes of transportation from home to train stations, while combined use of bike and train accounted for only 5.5%. In addition, it was observed that the relevant variables affecting the combined bike and train travel were bike ownership, daily use of bike and experience of combined use of bike and train.
