The empirical analysis in this paper highlights that joint activity–travel episodes warrant scrutiny for enhancing travel–demand models. The MNL model results indicate significant impacts of socioeconomic characteristics of individuals on companion- type choices for leisure activities. The impacts of transportation sys- tem characteristics and land use patterns on these choices are not examined for want of data. This is an avenue for further research. REFERENCES Arentze, T., and H.
