## overall proportions for chosen mode
with(TravelMode, prop.table(table(mode[choice == "yes"])))

## travel vs. waiting time for different travel modes
library("lattice")
xyplot(travel ~ wait | mode, data = TravelMode)

library("mlogit")
TravelMode$incair <- with(TravelMode, income * (mode == "air"))

  shape = "long", alt.var = "mode", reflevel = "car")
