Question

Discuss the excessive demand for automotive transportation and how possible solutions can aid in developing a vibrant regional or urban economy

Answer 1

There are many factors that contribute to excess demand for automotive transportation:

• Household wealth and vehicle ownership: As households become wealthier, they can increasingly own and operate motor vehicles
• Road and parking facility supply and quality: Availability of these influences demand.
• Prices (for fuel, road use, parking, transit fares): Low fuel prices more is the demand
• The relative speed, convenience, and comfort of travel by private vehicle and public transport: Vehicles come with convenience, which increases demand
• Walking and cycling conditions: The absence of these conditions makes people shift to automotive transportation, increasing demand
• Land use patterns (the distribution of destinations): More complex a place and hard to access more is the traffic, which results in increasing demand.
• Traveller habits and expectations: People like to travel more is the demand.
