| Abstract |
Construction of railway infrastructure impacts positively on mobility and accessibility of urban residents. However, it needs a huge investment cost to plan, construct, operate and maintain; thus, gen...erally challenges country's capability. Government of Mongolia (GoM), with the assistance of Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), plans to construct a new Mass Rapid Transit (Metro) line which connects east and west points of central part of Ulaanbaatar city. Besides, Ulaanbaatar city has an existing railway corridor along with the planned Metro line. The city administration has an interest to implement proper investigation to maximize the utility of existing railway corridor as one part of the urban transportation planning.
Therefore, this paper aims to point out issues in the present system for financing railway infrastructure in Mongolia. This study also examines current condition of urban transportation infrastructure. Also, the authors examined mode preference mode survey results comparing existing transportation modes and non-existing transportation mode. This study contributes existing research by comparing four alternative urban transportation modes and examining mode choice characteristics in the city. The results indicate that residents tend to choose transportation modes considering total time, total total and headway. Also, characteristic variable affects for a transportation mode.show more
