For all workers, the cost of driving an automobile is $8.00 with a travel time of 30 minutes, and the bus fare is $1.00 with a travel time of 50 minutes. Shared-ride option always consists of two travelers sharing costs equally.

UDL=2.0-0.02(costDL)-0.3(timeDL)
USR=1.5-0.02(costsR)-0.3(R)
UB=1.2-0.02(costB)-0.2(timeB)
where UDL,USR and UB refer to the utility of DL, SR and B, respectively; cost DL, costsp and costB refer to the cost of DL, SR and B, respectively; and timeDL, timesR and time B refer to the travel time of DL,SR and B, respectively.
