私人汽车保有量的持续增加，造成了汽车和公交车出行的不平衡。这一现象已成为制约城市交通经济和可持续发展的瓶颈。本文考察了政策选择在激励出行者选择公共汽车而不是汽车方面的有效性。参考依赖描述了在不确定条件下不同公交政策下的两种属性的出行方式选择行为。同时，还考虑采用公交票价优惠策略来引导出行者合理选择公交出行方式，并建立双层规划模型来优化公交票价比例。其中，下层规划考虑了交通政策对出行者公交出行决策的两个属性影响。利用上层规划，以系统总成本最低为目标，确定不同决策下的最优票价优惠比例。研究结果表明，公交补贴政策可以引导出行者优先选择公交出行。通过数值算例验证了模型的有效性。该模型对于未来交通需求管理策略的实施是必不可少的。
The continuous increase in the number of private cars has caused an imbalance in the travel of cars and buses. This phenomenon has become a bottleneck restricting urban transportation economy and sustainable development. This paper examines the effectiveness of policy options in motivating travelers to choose buses instead of cars. Using of reference dependence describes mode choice behaviors with two attributes under different public transit policies in uncertain conditions. At the same time, we also consider using the bus fare concession strategy to guide the traveler to reasonably choose the bus travel, and establish a bi-level programming model to optimize the bus fare proportions. Among them, the lower-level planning considers the two attributes impact of traffic policy on travelers’ decision to bus travel. Using the upper-level planning, the optimal fare preferential proportion for different policy decisions is decided considering the lowest total system cost. The study highlights that the transit subsidy policy can be employed to guide travelers to choose bus travel preferentially. Model effectiveness is verified using numerical examples. The model is indispensable for the implementation of future traffic demand management strategies.
