ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This research is conducted within the ADICCT-project (Assessing and Developing Initiatives of Companies to control and reduce Commuter Traffic) which is financed by Belgian Science Policy in the Science for a Sustainable Development research programme. We are also grateful to Grégory Vandenbulcke (UCL) and the FPS Mobility and Transport for delivering data and information. Finally, the authors wish to thank three anonymous referees for their useful comments and suggestions.

Notes

Notes: Waiting time = 25/#trains; egress speed = 10 km/h.

When taking into account more than one station, all nearer stations are still used in the calculation.

Notes: empty model: model without any independent variables, but with multilevel structure; full model: model with independent variables and multilevel structure. Empty and full model are modelled separately.

VPC: Variance Partition Coefficient; 26% = 0.084/(0.084 + 0.237); 74% = 0.237/(0.084 + 0.237).
