Abstract

One of the solutions for energy resources and environmental problems is to promote bicycle transportation. In this study, we investigate the modal shift in the transition period from bicycle users to automobile users. As a result, there were four factors. Physical conditions refer to reasons that influence bicycle usage. Financial Conditions refer to how much one can spend on purchasing a car and on its maintenance. Bicycle Habit is experience of bicycle use in the past Bicycle Favoritism is the preference of bicycle as a transportation mode. Bicycle transportation planning must be based on the policy to enhance these factors.
