Abstract

The city of Buenos Aires, like other large metropolis, suffers the increasing of congestion on its main access routes and highways. Carpooling has been proposed to alleviate this problem.

The present article continues the one from Picasso, Bonoli Escobar and Cosatto Ammann (2020) “Evaluación de una plataforma de carpooling mediante experimentos de selección”, with the objective of evaluating people interest in bidding in a potential carpooling system. The methodology is based on the application of Discrete Choice Models to a sample from an ad-hoc survey, where people face a choice experiment including carpooling besides the existing travel modes. The individuals were exposed to various choice sets with carpooling besides the existing travel modes at different travel time and cost, for them to choose the preferred alternative. The results show that commuters are highly interested in offering their cars for carpooling for an adequate compensation, especially young people and those who travel more frequently to the city.
