Tolerance threshold of commuting time: Evidence from Kunming, China
Abstract The perceptions and attitudes of commuters toward the behavioral thresholds for commuting time are of great significance for understanding their commuting patterns and possible changes in those patterns. This study focuses on the tolerance threshold of commuting time and presents the empirical evidences using the data from Kunming, China. The descriptive statistics of the tolerance thresholds of commuting time are presented. The statistical results demonstrate that the tolerance threshold of commuting time peaks at the interval of [30,40)min and the actual commuting time of 44.3% commuters is approximately equal to or exceeds the tolerance threshold. Furthermore, the determinants of the tolerance threshold of commuting time are identified using an ordered logistic model. The results demonstrate that age, gender, education level, household income, the presence of children, travel mode and residential location have a significant impact on the tolerance threshold of commuting time.
Highlights We identify the determinants of the tolerance threshold of commuting time in China. We present the statistical analysis of the tolerance threshold of commuting time. The tolerance threshold of commuting time peaks at the interval of [30,40)min. The tolerance threshold of commuting time varies with travel modes and sociodemographics.
