Abstract:
Public transit strikes are disrupting normal passenger behavior and force a change in travel patterns. Despite their significance, their study in the literature is limited. The purpose of the present paper is to investigate what are the effects of public transit strikes on passengers’ behavior in an urban
environment. The model was developed in the context of the ATTACS project and is a “spin off” the main research objective of the project. The city of Rome, Italy was used as reference case. Different scenarios of public transit strikes were simulated. The results showed an – expected – increase in the demand for private transportation. However, the traffic does not increase much for the city center because it is already high enough in the reference case. The effects of the strike seem more visible in the peripheral zones of the city, both in the behavior of all modes of transportation and in terms of economic activity.
Keywords: System Dynamics, public transportation, passenger behavior
