“…Some report an average of about 4-8h at Nanjing Metro stations (Chen et al, 2012), others found that many bicycles were hardly used at all: a quarter of available parking spaces were occupied by abandoned bicycles in New Jersey USA (Harvey et al, 2016) and 7% of bicycles parked overnight at the Bristol, UK train station were used only once a week (Sherwin et al, 2011). The presence of abandoned or vandalised bicycles is a deterrent to parking (Rojas López & Wong, 2017).…”

“…The availability of exclusive lanes encourages the switch from car to bicycle. Exclusive lanes can increase a cyclist's sense of safety and confidence, especially those with little experience, as [41] reported.…”

This work mainly aims to identify and understand the factors influencing the switching of transportation modes among higher-education students in Joinville, Brazil when traveling to universities. Furthermore, this study evaluates the possibility of switching from individual vehicles to other modes of transport (i.e., bus, bicycle, and walking) by employing a multinomial logit model. The results indicate that students would be interested in switching from individual motor vehicles to other options. The scenarios for switching to buses presented the highest switching probability. The bus cost was the most important factor for switching. Meanwhile, the parking space reduction does not affect the student's choice, indicating that restricting available spaces should not be an isolated measure for decreasing the car mode attractiveness. Finally, the transport mode switch would occur only if alternative modes to the car or their infrastructure are improved; otherwise, students maintain their usual choices.

“…e Statements are "Cycling can benefit my health" and "Cycling is enjoyable" are designed for measuring the attitude toward cycling. Statements "Walking can benefit my health" and "Walking is enjoyable" are for measuring the attitude toward walking [33]. Moreover, the environmental problem awareness is measured using the following statements: "Car emission is an important cause of air pollution" [34] and "I think transportation has a huge impact on the environment, and I support low-carbon travel."…”

The purpose of this study is to explore the factors associated with car use for short trips. Using the data collected from a travel survey conducted with car users in Kunming, the structural equation model is employed to explore the structural relationships between car use for short trips, attitudes toward cars and alternative travel modes, sociodemographics, and the built environment. The results show that instrumental and symbolic attitudes toward cars are positively related to the affective attitude, and these three attitudes have a significant effect on car use for short trips. The symbolic attitude of drivers is negatively associated with their walking and cycling attitudes. Drivers with a better cycling attitude use a car less frequently for short trips. Concurrently, the effects of sociodemographics and the built environment on the attitudes and car use for short trips are also identified. The findings may contribute to understanding the car use behavior and help policy makers to identify methods for reducing car use more clearly.
