IMPACT OF THE PHASED IMPLEMENTATION OF DHAKA MRT LINE 6 ON ROAD TRAFFIC

抄録

This study examines the impact of the phased implementation of MRT Line 6 in Dhaka. A modal shift from private vehicles to MRT was confirmed, and rickshaw drivers near stations began lining up in response to increased passenger demand. This behavioral change was analyzed using behavioral economics and supported by field surveys and interviews. The findings show that informal transport providers can adapt their behavior when demand rises due to expanded public transit services.
