Abstract

Saleh and Das rightly point out that both the speed and the reliability of a transport mode are important factors in the modal choice for freight movements. Their assertion that reliability may have been over‐emphasised is confirmed by a recent Australian study into the modal choice for freight movements between Melbourne and Sydney where speed was the second most often mentioned factor while reliability was only the twelfth most often mentioned factor.
