| Summary: | This study explores the modality and trip chaining patterns of individuals in Dhaka, Bangladesh. We use household-level trip data for a day collected from randomly selected respondents of the Dhaka Metropolitan Development Plan area. We found that walking and rickshaw are the dominant modes of travel. The majority of individuals are unimodal and mostly depend on either walking or on rickshaws. Individuals generally walk for the first and last-mile connections to public transit. Cars are used more for non-home-based business trips. Personalized modes such as cars, cycles, and motorcycles are present at a higher proportion in the super complex trip chain than other types of chains. |
