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

“…Some of these research findings are briefly decribed below. Through the comparison between the passenger arrival at various stations and the passengers’ stated rating of crowdedness of the platforms, it was inferred that passengers’ perceived crowdedness does not vary linearly with the platform passenger density and their perception of crowdedness was more sensitive when the crowd on-platform was either below 15 people or more than 30. …”
