“…Moreover, the results obtained in this study confirmed the positive impact of perceived benefits on attitudes toward sustainable traveling behaviors, consistent with the findings of past research, such as that of [133]. These findings support previous research conducted in different contexts [134,135], as well as reinforce the link between perceived values and attitudes.…”

The importance of the sustainability concept has gained increasing attention from scholars and practitioners. In this context, the aim of this study was to examine the determinants of intention to continue to use the new Metro in Qatar, which is considered a sustainable mode of travel. Therefore, in this paper, a special attention was paid to certain variables, such as environmental concern, perceived quality, and perceived benefits. A quantitative method approach was employed, in which data were collected based on self-administered questionnaires. A total of 1334 Qatar residents responded to the survey questionnaire, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used for hypothesis testing. The results confirmed the direct effects of perceived behavioral control, social influence, and attitudes on the intention of residents to continue to use the Metro network in their travel. Moreover, perceived behavioral control was found to play a mediating role, enhancing the indirect relationship between perceived benefits and intention to continue to use the Metro network. More importantly, environmental concerns significantly and positively affected the attitudes and perceived behavioral control of travelers; furthermore, these variables presented a mediated influence—through service quality—on the intention to continue to use the Metro network. This study enriched the sustainability behavior literature by examining the influences of crucial factors. Thus, this study is considered of great value for policy-makers who hope to maximize the awareness level of environmental sustainability among the population, in order to encourage them to embrace changes in their lifestyle towards becoming more environmentally responsible.

“…University students, for example, can be considered an essential and novel population as they still form their values and beliefs, making them more receptive to potential changes in their travel choices (CHEN et al, 2022). Most research focuses on the travel patterns of the student community (CHEN et al, 2022;HASNINE;CHUNG;NURUL HABIB, 2022;TUVERI et al, 2020). Many researchers study the travel choice patterns of students and staff members (FRASZCZYK; WEERAWAT; KIRA-WANICH, 2019;LOGAN et al, 2020;HTUN;OBAID, 2021;DEWEESE;RAVENSBERGEN;EL-GENEIDY, 2022).…”

This article reviews recent literature on data collection and analysis procedures regarding modal choice in university travel. The review method included the search, selection, and critical analysis of studies published in indexed journals in the bibliographic databases between 2018 and 2023. While most studies utilized online questionnaires, there was some adherence to in-person surveys. Strategies such as social media promotion and prize incentives have been employed. Regarding analysis tools, it was observed that most studies employ quantitative approaches, including statistical tests, discrete choice models, and integrated and latent variable models. In addition to commonly used variables such as socioeconomic or behavioral factors, there has been an inclusion of variables that explain the effect of the global pandemic scenario on the travel behavior of the academic community.

“…University students make up a sizable portion of the working population because they frequently commute to their campuses. However, few studies have examined the commuting behaviors of college students [40]. This is a key motivator of this research because educational institutions are not only large employers but also major trip producers [36,41] with significant influence on traffic externalities, particularly when they are located in urban areas [37].…”

An Integrated Ordered Probit Model for Evaluating University Commuters’ Satisfaction with Public Transport

Transport policymakers need to have an in-depth understanding of public transport (PT) customers in order to effectively manage transport systems and maintain the attractiveness of these systems to potential users. This research aims to compare the perceptions and satisfaction levels of two groups of PT users (habitual and occasional) among university staff and students regarding the quality of PT through a new integrated approach. A sample of 500 participants from Budapest, Hungary was used. Two stages of analysis were conducted: a descriptive analysis was conducted in the first stage, and Student’s t-tests of two independent samples were applied to identify the varying perceptions and overall satisfaction. Second, a new integrated ordered probit model (OPM) and an importance–performance analysis (IPA) were used to envisage how best to prioritize actions for transport enhancement. The results show that in the circle of commuters, the habitual PT users were more satisfied with the existing PT service than the occasional PT users. According to the findings of the IPA, for habitual users, the attribute “information provided” has a high priority for improvement, whereas the cost for both user types was found to be significant for all models, contributing to overall satisfaction. This factor was included in the possible overkill quadrant, suggesting that there might be more cost resources than needed. The new model, along with the case study results, may help policymakers and transport operators to make better decisions regarding the identification of service priority areas.
