Binary logit model is applied since the alternative of parking facility choice is limited into two categories peripheral P&R facilities and local P&R facilities. Based on stated preference survey processed by R statistics, the result of type of P&R facility choice under hypothetical scenarios as follow: (1) variables that significantly affect park and ride choice behavior are gender, cost, amenity, overnight service and type of spatial use.
