Özet
This study examines multimodal transportation choices along the high-demand Ankara–Istanbul corridor using Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR) to capture spatial heterogeneity in travel behavior. Focusing on total travel time as the dependent variable, the analysis incorporates access and trip durations for buses, high-speed rail, and air travel, excluding private vehicle use. The MGWR framework reveals four key findings: (1) Terminal access time is a crucial determinant, with shorter access durations favoring specific modes; (2) Socio-economic factors significantly influence mode choice, as higher-income travelers predominantly opt for air travel, while older individuals demonstrate a preference for bus services; (3) Weather conditions and travel frequency exhibit spatially varying effects, with frequent travelers showing a strong inclination toward rail transport; and (4) The accessibility gap …
