[sustran] Prof. Jason Chang and mode split data

[bruun at seas.upenn.edu]

Hi, everyone:

A couple of years ago Prof. Chang, then of the National Technical
University of Taiwan, mentioned that he was writing an article about
increasing the mode split of transit in Taiwan. I would very much like
to see if this article was ever completed. Does anyone know how to reach him?

Also, I am very interested in any data motorcycle mode split and trip  
length for any cities where someone might have some data. This  
includes for both personal and freight use. Any leads would be most  
appreciated.

Dear Prof. Chang:

Did you ever complete the paper you mentioned about increasing the  
mode split for
transit in Taipei? I am doing some research on the impact on motorcycle use
when transit is dramatically improved.

Thanks in advance.
