Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the income and socio-economic determinants of
transport demand, using Dublin as a case study.
Chapter 1 sets the context by discussing the problem of excessive car use in urban areas
and the increasing movement away from earlier policies that were primarily concerned
with expanding road capacity towards a more integrated solution encompassing
investment in public transport and measures such as improved cycle and bus lanes,
parking restrictions and road pricing. In this context, the need for a better understanding
of the income and socio-economic factors influencing the demand for urban transport is
highlighted.
