Title Applying the Reliability Concept to the Analysis of the Travel Delay Tolerability for Mass Rapid Transit Passengers
Author Cheng-Min Feng, Jin-Chung Wang, Chao-Chung Kang
Summary   This paper applied the reliability concept to the analysis of the travel delay tolerability for mass rapid transit (MRT) passengers in Taipei. The empirical results showed that passenger’s toleration was higher when the compensation systems exist for delayed time in peak period, non-peak period and weekend, but the increase of toleration due to the compensation was limited to some degree. Moreover, the possibility of shifting to other transportation modes in peak period was higher than that of the other two periods.
