Résumé : A model is presented to describe the dynamics of transportation mode choice in which the interaction between transportation users and a public transportation authority results in self -organization. The model illustrates that a sufficient number of connections between a central city and its suburbs are required for self-organization to occur whereby public transportation use and service will grow. It also demonstrates the existence of bifurcation points at certain times in a system’s evolution. It is at these junctures that government policy action can have the most effect with the minimum input.
