Note: Vuong test favours extended model; Murphy and Topel correction of standard errors. The constants in the models were calibrated to match the predicted average trips to the actual average trips in the sample.

Note: t-values are provided in brackets within each table and the 95% confidence intervals for each parameter estimate are available on request.
