Table 5: Results of travel consideration. into account more in making their travel decisions. In the TP model, travelers' choices are adversely affected by the negative impact of Pkm. Both models consistently feature negative coefficients in relation to the total walking distance variable. This could be because walking represents a slow speed and less serviced mode of travel. As such, it is natural for most travelers to seek to minimize prolonged walking distances in the course of their journeys. The fitting coefficients of gender, occupation, and travel purpose exhibit no significant distinction between the two models. In the context of gender, negative coefficients are associated with metro and taxi choices, while the coefficient corresponding to car usage lacks statistical significance. This indicative pattern suggests a prevailing trend: female travelers exhibit a preference for taxi and metro alternatives over the P&R mode, while their male counterparts are more inclined towards P&R or car travel. This divergence might potentially be attributed to a greater fondness among male travelers for the act of driving itself. The presence of a stable job has a negative impact on the preference for the metro in the FP model. However, in the TP model, a stable job negatively affects the preference for the metro and positively affects the preference for cars and taxis. The fitting coefficients for travel purpose yield positive values across both models, underscoring a clear trend. This reveals that the P&R mode resonates predominantly with travelers embarking on official duties or daily commutes. Conversely, leisure and recreational travelers manifest a proclivity for alternative transportation modes beyond the P&R. This distinction can be attributed to the distinct exigencies of diverse travel intents. Commuters and those engaged in official obligations prioritize efficiency and punctuality, with their paramount concern being reaching their destinations in a timely manner. Driving a car in suburban areas and utilizing P&R for commuting to densely populated urban centers by the subway precisely caters to the requirements of commuters and business travelers. In contrast, travelers seeking leisure and recreational pursuits exhibit a heightened sensitivity to the experiential aspects of their journey. The intermediate mode shift in the P&R approach might potentially disrupt their travel experience. The overall travel distance has a positive impact on travelers' preferences for choosing metro and car travel, while negatively affecting their preference for taxi travel in the FP model. Differently, in the TP model, travelers' preferences for all three modes of travel are negatively impacted.
