Abstract
The rapid urbanization since the 1990s has led to a dramatic increase in demand for public transport, especially for the urban subway systems. While many previous studies examined the relationships among travel demand and land use patterns, development density, urban transit, and socioeconomic factors of the station catchment area, relatively few studies have discussed the influences of these characteristics on the change in demand over time. The lack of studies that identify the cause of demand fluctuation in subway travel raises the need for greater research within the field of urban transportation. Thus it is essential to discover the factors that cause demand fluctuation as a means of improving the quality of future transport planning and management, especially in the short-term period. The results of this study show that the monthly fluctuation of travel demand was most pronounced in stations that had a relatively high number of enterprises and employees, in areas that were designed mostly for commercial purposes. Transferable stations and non-express stations also reflected a similar effect, indicating that these conditions led to the demand fluctuation.
