The paper summarizes the changes in modal transport choice behaviour that occurred in the Toronto region between 1986 and 1991. The evidence presented shows that the region has become more dependent on automobile travel, making the sustainable transport targets adopted by Canada even more difficult to achieve. These changes are analyzed in terms of (i) changes in the size of the socio-demographic market segments that influence modal transport choice, (ii) changes in the choice probabilities of these market segments, and (iii) changes in the spatial structure of the Toronto region. The socio-demographic changes during the 1986–1991 period are less favourable to public transport and the probabilities of selecting public transport for the journey to work have decreased substantially for most of the market segments. The paper shows the overwhelming influence of development density on modal transport choice and the beneficial influence of adjacent high density employment and residential densities on the use of nonmotorized travel. The paper argues that the excessive auto-dependency of the Toronto region is likely to change only if high density suburban development forms are created and comprehensive road and parking pricing schemes introduced. Key words: urban transport, transport mode choice, public transport, regional development.

This paper aims to study the public transport mode choice behaviour of commuters in Delhi so that appropriate strategies to incentivize the use of public transport can be developed. We examine the efficacy of a multivariate statistical modelling approach to predict the probability of non-metro commuters to shift to the Delhi metro. We also analyse the reasons for this shift from private motor vehicles (PMVs) and buses. Data is collected through a survey of the metro commuters over various metro lines. A binomial logistic regression model is formulated to predict whether existing metro users have shifted from buses or are new additions to public transport shifting from PMVs. The model is validated well through several methods. The model analysis reveals that 57% of the metro users have shifted from buses and 28.8% from PMVs. The shift is more amongst females than males.

The article examines the features of digitalization of paid parking space in Moscow. The concept and specifics of digitalization in the field of paid parking are considered and the most effective ways to solve the problem of scarce street space in the city are presented. The main results of the organization of paid parking spaces are highlighted: a decrease in the average arrival time of ambulances, the Ministry of Emergency Situations and fire brigades, a decrease in parking time, a decrease in the number of violations of the rules of stopping and parking on the streets, a decrease in transit volume, an increase in the speed of movement, the turnover of parking spaces, a decrease in the use of personal vehicles entering the toll zone, eliminating "chaotic parking", creating a safe and favorable environment for pedestrians, public transport and motorists. The article describes in detail the tools, approaches and methods associated with digital transformation, thanks to which these results were achieved in Moscow in less than 10 years. In addition, this publication presents the most effective ways to further use digitalization as a way to increase the efficiency of paid parking space on the territory of Moscow.
