Résumé
This paper describes some of the strong temporal and spatial trends that affect transit usage over time and space in the Greater Montreal Area: influence of the baby boom cohorts, population aging, severe urban sprawl, increased women participation to labor force, corresponding catching up in car ownership, population decentralization, etc
Documentation for the case comes from five comparable 5%-sampled telephone interview Origin-Destination surveys conducted in the falls of 1974, 1978, 1982, 1987 and 1993. The latter two surveys have used geographic information system (GIS-T) references to geo-coded related residence, origin and destination locations, all that providing precise measures of modal choices and network usage. |
