Research involves collection of Revealed and Stated preference data and analyze intercity mode choice behavior using an econometric model. Discrete choice models, multinomial logit model and nested logit model, are used to analyze SP & RP data. Mode choice modeling studies provide reliable estimates on mode shift into a new mode and establish a strong basis for setting fare structure and service attributes. This study first explores the mode choice scenario after railway is introduced and then builds up evidence for railway, a mode, for intercity travel sustainability. It is found that the mode choice behavior of intercity travelers in Nepal is influenced by time, cost, distance, travel partner, cost bearer, age, income, car ownership, and family size. Moreover, the utility of travel mode is found more sensitive towards time than cost. Finally, it is concluded that demand and preference for railways is relatively higher than existing modes.

Unstable external funding sources for large-scale transport infrastructure prompts many East Asian countries to strengthen capacity in self-financing transport investments. This paper aims to evaluate if earmarking of road-related tax revenues for transport investments answers the need of developing countries to fund needed infrastructure to sustain economic growth. Funding issues relevant to the need for a long-term funding instrument, and the current structure of road-related taxes are presented to build empirical contexts of the potential of linking tax revenues and transport investment needs. Some lessons from long run transport funds in Japan and the US are also presented to articulate the idea of earmarking. Finally, we propose a dynamic framework illustrating vicious cycle of funding gap in transport affecting growth potential. In the structure, we propose a transport earmarking financed by transport-related tax showing its effectiveness breaking the vicious cycle in funding infrastructure in developing EA countries.
