Access distance to public transport is an important metric for planning, modeling, and evaluating public transport networks and is often used in policy goals and statements. However, accurately measuring access (and egress) distance can be difficult. Estimates often rely either on aggregate inferences based on census data or on small samples of disaggregate data from travel diary surveys. When smart cards used for fare payment are also registered with home address information, they represent a new data source that can be used to infer access distances for a large sample of users, at a disaggregate level and at low cost, compared with travel diary surveys. This paper demonstrates the inference of access distance from smart card fare and transaction data for a large sample of London public transport journeys and compares the inferred access distributions to data from the London Travel Demand Survey, a travel diary survey. Possible instances of false inferences are considered and measures to eliminate false inferences are discussed. This access distance inference methodology allows for the analysis of variation in access distance across the network, and examples of this type of analysis are presented.
