| Abstract | This thesis has the main objective to analyze the effect of fare reduction on passenger travel behavior. The questionnaire has been used as a tool to analyze the travel’s characteristic and factor that motivate them to shift travelling time. Also, the amount of time that travelers are able and willing to change, Bangkok has been investigated and analyze from the questionnaire. The population are the Airport Rail Link (ARL) passenger in Thailand. The sampling size are 740 passengers using Taro Yamane formula with the 97.5% confident level. The distribution of questionnaires are both onsite and online surveys. The Binary Logit Model was using to analyze. The data has been analyzed by the STATA program. The result showed that the passenger who are older age, higher income, higher education of degree will not likely to change their travel time compare with the lower groups. For the factors that motivate them to shift time, the findings suggested that the rate of discount, length of time shift, and the travelling distance have significant different effect at 0.01. The Binary Logit Model analysis is found that the shift time 1 hour with the satisfaction rate of discount between 8.40-19.20 baht in the morning and in the evening with 6.60-12.60 baht are the time that people are able and willing to change for a given discount.
