Abstract
Transportation has been an important aspect in life, both offering convenience and efficiency and potentially bringing inconvenience and delay to people. San Francisco Bay Area has always been famous for its comprehensive transportation networks and various transportation modes; meanwhile the issue of transportation congestion has caused severe consequences in people’s lives such as wasted time and gasoline, polluted air, and traffic accidents. This project aims to explore the commuting patterns in the San Francisco Bay Area and analyze people’s commuting behaviors and some demographic datasets. Correlations between demographic features and people’s commuting choices and behaviors are explored, along with three representative new commuting methods, Bay Area Rapid Transit, Lyft bike sharing Bay Wheel, and Uber. Such thorough studies can potentially offer policy implications for transportation planners and policy makers, for the sake of establishing faster transportation networks and avoiding traffic delay to a larger extent.
