The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of the ideal and tolerable commuting time on commuting satisfaction. From the perspective of the individual subjective expectation and tolerance level toward commuting time, this study introduced the ideal commuting time (ICT) and the commuting time tolerance threshold (TTCT), and compared them with the actual commuting time (ACT). The results of the empirical study on Kunming by the ordered logistic regression model show that the satisfaction of the commuters by active commute mode is the best, while the satisfaction of the commuters by public transit is the worst. The highlight of this study is to find that the subjective commute time boundary points have a significant effect on commuting satisfaction. Concretely speaking, the respondents have the highest commuting satisfaction when their ACT is within the range of their ICT. When their ACT between their ICT and TTCT, commuting satisfaction decrease moderately. While their ACT equal to or greater than their TTCT, commuting satisfaction decline sharply. These findings could serve as a reference for achieving a more sustainable urban commute system.
