In this study, an activity-based demand framework was used to evaluate two off-peak pricing strategies currently in use in Singapore. These strategies consisted of a free prepeak travel on mass rapid transit (MRT) and an off-peak discount for an integrated transit (public buses and MRT). Smart card data collected before and after the implementation of the first policy were used to calibrate the behavioral models involved, to capture travelers\u2019 preferences and choices properly. To evaluate both pricing strategies, a comprehensive set of key performance indicators was considered and included the changes in peak ridership, average trip fare, operator\u2019s revenue, the number of public transportation trips, and mode share. The results indicate that off-peak discount pricing strategies are a viable policy option for spreading demand peaks and that they are more effective during the afternoon peak period. This study also demonstrates the capabilities and the advantages of an agent-based modeling platform, SimMobility, as a tool for policy analysis. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3141\/2544-02","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,12,12]],"date-time":"2016-12-12T20:12:18Z","timestamp":1481573538000},"page":"10-19","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Evaluating Off-Peak Pricing Strategies in Public Transportation with an Activity-Based Approach"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"2544","author":[{"given":"Milan","family":"Lovri\u0107","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology, 1 Create Way No. 09-02, Create Tower, Singapore 138602"}]},{"given":"Sebasti\u00e1n","family":"Raveau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology, 1 Create Way No. 09-02, Create Tower, Singapore 138602"}]},{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Adnan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology, 1 Create Way No. 09-02, Create Tower, Singapore 138602"}]},{"given":"Francisco C.","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology, 1 Create Way No. 09-02, Create Tower, Singapore 138602"}]},{"given":"Kakali","family":"Basak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology, 1 Create Way No. 09-02, Create Tower, Singapore 138602"}]},{"given":"Harish","family":"Loganathan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology, 1 Create Way No. 09-02, Create Tower, Singapore 138602"}]},{"given":"Moshe","family":"Ben-Akiva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, School of Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Room 1-181, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2544-02","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/01441648608716635"},{"key":"bibr2-2544-02","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/01441640500064439"},{"key":"bibr3-2544-02","unstructured":"Travel Smart in Singapore.
