Accessibility and equality evaluations have been primarily focused on residential location. However, workplace location might be an equivalent contributor to inequalities in the travel experience and accessibility. Traditionally, transport planning connects high-demand areas with the best-quality and capacity transport infrastructures. Literature supports that employment centers (EC) receive mainly workers in certain middle-to high-income occupations. This condition results in a type of segregation pattern associated with trip destinations and modal choice similar to those reported for the household location. This paper investigates commuting from a different standpoint, emphasizing the need to consider workplace location and employment distribution within cities. We identify five main EC in Bogotá, Colombia, and explore their association with the commuting mode choice of three population groups using mixed logit models. Results indicate that people who work in any EC tend to use more public transport (PT). Nevertheless, the probability of selecting PT differs among groups. Specifically, for low-income commuters, PT represents lower utility than that for middle-income commuters if their job is located in an EC. The fact that the population most likely to be public transport captive does not find this alternative as attractive as the middle-income segment needs further investigation for better policymaking.

连接哪些点？波哥大的就业中心和通勤不平等

可访问性和平等性评估主要集中在住宅位置。然而，工作场所的位置可能是导致旅行体验和可达性不平等的一个等效因素。传统上，交通规划将高需求地区与最佳质量和容量的交通基础设施联系起来。文献支持就业中心（EC）主要接收某些中高收入职业的工人。这种情况导致了一种与旅行目的地和模式选择相关的隔离模式，类似于家庭位置的报告。本文从不同的角度研究通勤，强调需要考虑工作场所的位置和城市内的就业分布。我们在哥伦比亚波哥大确定了五个主要的 EC，并使用混合 logit 模型探索它们与三个人群的通勤模式选择的关联。结果表明，在任何 EC 工作的人倾向于使用更多的公共交通 (PT)。然而，选择 PT 的概率因组而异。具体而言，对于低收入通勤者，如果他们的工作位于 EC 中，则 PT 代表的效用低于中等收入通勤者。最有可能成为公共交通俘虏的人口并不认为这种替代方案像中等收入群体那样具有吸引力，这一事实需要进一步调查以制定更好的政策。对于低收入通勤者，如果他们的工作位于欧共体，则 PT 代表的效用低于中等收入通勤者。最有可能成为公共交通俘虏的人口并不认为这种替代方案像中等收入群体那样具有吸引力，这一事实需要进一步调查以制定更好的政策。对于低收入通勤者，如果他们的工作位于欧共体，则 PT 代表的效用低于中等收入通勤者。最有可能成为公共交通俘虏的人口并不认为这种替代方案像中等收入群体那样具有吸引力，这一事实需要进一步调查以制定更好的政策。
