Question
Consider the basic AMM city with all the standard assumptions, except the introduction of different
transport modes.
Cost per km, t, for each mode is given by:
Walking, t 3x
Cycling, t 3+ 2x
Private Vehicle, t 9+ x/2
!!
P = population 1000rx2
Where x = kilometres from the CBD.
And the size of the city is equal to, x 20
a) If the city is equal to size x=20, How many people in the city will commute by walking, cycling
and private vehicles?
b) As the city grows, such that x = 22, congestion increases across the city, such that the cost per
km of travel for private vehicle users increases to t= 9 + x. Recalculate the number of people
commuting by each mode in the city.
