Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given the costs derived as follows (Car: 5.5, Bus: 3.5, Train: 2.5), how would the introduction of a new electric bike service priced at 1.5 affect the existing modal split? Calculate the new probabilities.

💡 Hint: Use the logit model to include the new mode.

Challenge 2 Hard

Use the previous data of 4200 trips and recalibrate if the bus fares increase by 1. How does it change the trip distribution?

💡 Hint: Remember to update the logit calculation with the new bus cost.
