The first introduction of urban railway in Bangkok, Thailand, is believed to have a significant influence on residents’ spatial and travel behavior decisions. Whether or not it has become a major determinant of people to choose to live near the railway corridor as well as to commute to work by this mode should be examined. This paper aims to investigate the factors involved in household choices decisions of multi-worker households who are more constrained in selecting residential location, workplace location and travel choice than one-worker households, with particular emphasis on the role of transport factors. The discrete choice modeling is used to explore to what extent the transport factors in terms of each worker’s commuter cost and time affect their choices decisions as compared to other factors. Model estimation reveals that, rather than transport factors, socio-demographic status is found to play a significant role in explaining their decision mechanism.
