Factors that has role play in deciding what mode of transport to use
In situations of urgency or when there is a time constraint people shell out more
money even though their eorts are still to minimize this cost.
For short distances any means of transport is welcome because of xed cost
component for operation of services here and is generally priced similar to the busfares. The benet to the service provider works out from the mileage aspect of the
vehicle.
For long distances it is ust not only the cost compounded with the comfort ! luxury
but also the convenience that needs to be considered. This brings in the aspect of
service "uality of the service provider. #t times by increasing the fre"uency of the
service or providing faster mode in a particular route $based on people movement
density% can enable one to adopt that particular service. &ut of the two criteria
mentioned above it is generally the fre"uency of service factor that plays an
important role in mass adoption as it provides them commuters more 'exibility in
their daily activities.
Faster services would be an added advantage but this is often provided only at
higher cost.
(ne must also look at the movement density of the population to conclude if the
additional $waterways% service that is to be provided makes sense to them at all or
is useful for them in anyway i.e. will it help them go faster or will it be economical.
)etros are successful because they are both economical and faster. #lso servicing
them is not as cumbersome as canals $because of silting problem%
*onvenience also includes using lesser means+mode of transport to reach the
destination as it pertains to both eort and cost criteria.
,nhancing the route -etwork
(ne way to reduce the travel time is reduce the number of stops. This can be used
for company employees.
ecurity/ It is not di0cult to ensure security on the ships+boats but it is di0cult to
ensure security in the link zones. uccess of a new mode of transport partly
depends on this.
*an bring certain goods directly into the city without unloading the goods at the
1ooghly port $reduces both on the labor and land transport cost%. This can reduce
the cost for many commercial entities. ,ntities can buy+rent certain portion of space
on the ship for their purposes.
