Car ownership in households
The transport patterns and modal splits are strongly influenced by a decision of households of how
many cars to own. The number of available cars in the household determines the public transport
usage and effectiveness of transport investment policies. The thesis aims to explore the reasons that
determine the decision to own 0, 1, 2, 3, or more cars. The method of the thesis will be a consumer
survey among households. The survey will investigate the socio-economic characteristics of
households and attitudes of their members toward cars and public transport. Based on this survey the
multinominal logit model will be estimated and the determinants of choice identified.
