Modeling public transit route choice behaviour by Zhou, Yao Hui.

“…It was subsequently concluded that morning commuters on the Singapore MRT East West Line from the western region were experiencing overcrowding on their journeys, but the majority of them did not adapt their route or departure time choice as a result of the unpleasant experience in the crowd, because their comfort loss did not easily overcome the concerns over other prevailing factors, like the early arrival schedule cost. On the other hand, possible causes for the bottleneck in service capacity were identified (e.g. train bunching, conflict between alighting and boarding passengers) and in order to address such issues, some suggerstions on management and operation improvement were discussed, which include maintaining headway consistency, implementing flow diversion on platform, educating passengers on cabin etiquette, and introducing flip seats. …”
