Highlights ► The concept of transportation serviceability is introduced to evaluate a transportation mode’s service status. ► Modal choice possibilities are calculated using a stochastic equilibrium model based on generalized travel costs. ► Transportation serviceability can be influenced by background traffic, value of comfort, and parking fee distribution. ► Serviceability analysis results are discussed from the policy perspective.

    Abstract Major commuting corridors in metropolitan areas generally comprise multiple transportation modes for commuters, such as transit (subways or buses), private vehicles, or park-and-ride combinations. During the morning peak hour, the commuters would choose one of the available transportation modes to travel through the corridors from rural/suburban living areas to urban working areas. This paper introduces a concept of transportation serviceability to evaluate a transportation mode’s service status in a specific link, route, road, or network during a certain period. The serviceability can be measured by the possibility that travelers choose a specific type of transportation service at a certain travel cost. The commuters’ modal-choice possibilities are calculated using a stochastic equilibrium model based on general travel cost. The modeling results illustrate how transportation serviceability is influenced by background traffic flow in a corridor, value of comfort for railway mode, and parking fee distribution.
