In comparison to bus, passenger van offers shorter journey time, increased headway, improved reliability, higher levels of comfort, less frequent stopping, guaranteed seating and air conditioning. Equipped with such advantages, it is perhaps unsurprising that the advent of passenger van has provoked noticeable changes in the travel behaviour of Bangkok commuters. The objectives of this paper are to investigate the preferences of public transit users in general, and passenger van users in particular, towards several service quality attributes, and to exploit such insights in the planning of future services. The main Stated Preference surveying techniques were based on passenger van users which were drawn from three strata pertaining to different spatial locations, specifically inner city, urban fringe and suburban. The analysis was exploited the merger of the various SP experiments and the phenomenon of repeated observations.
