“…Those users who use public transport for work purposes cannot so easily reduce the use of this service. This fact, together with the use of the service for reasons of economic savings and lack of a private car, reflects obligatory mobility patterns [39,40]. It could therefore be said that the decision to reduce the use of public transport will mainly affect leisure travel, with the consequent impact on consumption and the economy.…”

The aim of this present study is to analyze how the health crisis caused by pandemic has impacted on public transport users’ social perception, on their mobility decisions and whether the policies implemented have generated a greater safety for them. In order to achieve the objective, 1159 public transport users have been surveyed in Madrid. For the methodology, Bitner’s Servicescape Model has been used, because through this model, it is possible to analyze the physical environment in which a service is provided. This directly affects the assessment, perception, and user’s satisfaction, since the service is produced and consumed simultaneously. To complete the study, a regression model has been carried out. This study is an important contribution to academic literature, as it is the first to examine how the health crisis caused by COVID-19 has impacted on mobility decisions in the biggest city of Spain.

“…There are studies from the perspective of costs and revenues (Awad-Núñez et al 2021;Delgado Jalon et al 2019); other studies analyze the efficiency of the service (Alonso et al 2018;Wang et al 2015). However, not many studies have been found that complement these studies with the perceived social value of the service provided (De Oña et al 2021;Delgado Jalon et al 2019;Solano et al 2021). Because of the above, it seems interesting to undertake a study that analyzes the social value perceived by the public transport user, specifically for policies and management decisions on innovation and sustainability.…”

No one doubts the importance of public transport services in the economic backbone of any country. In recent decades, there has been a growing interest in the contribution to Sustainable Development Goals on the part of governments, companies, and stakeholders. In this sense, transport can contribute to the sustainability of cities and facilitate other social objectives, such as universal accessibility, with innovation being a key pillar for this. Thus, the main objective of this study is to analyze users’ perceptions of the innovation and sustainability of public transport in Spain.To analyze the user’s perception of public transport, a questionnaire was developed following Bitner’s Servicescape Model. A total of 1,354 responses were collected in different Spanish cities. The main results show that the policies implemented in both innovation and sustainability are perceived positively but do not seem to have much impact on the service user. Public transport users prioritize the speed, frequency, and safety of the service received. In addition, it should be noted that the gender of the user influences the preferences of the objectives, i.e., men value technological development in public transport more. At the same time, women give higher priority to sustainability. The age of users is another variable that conditions public transport users’ perceptions of innovation and sustainability. The results also show users’ preferences for different types of public transport.The study’s main contribution is that it shows to what extent the innovation and sustainability policies applied in the public transport service are valued and motivate citizens to use the service. The political and management decisions may be disconnected from the reality perceived by users. These decisions may be more linked to regulatory pressures and involve a high implementation cost, so it is necessary to consider the valuation of users’ service so that the benefit or social return of these investments is high, encouraging the use of the service.

“…There are a lot of factors which affect determining the route of mass vehicles, for example, the terminals, kind of vehicles, (as per capacity, speed, and technical quality), and the kind of route lines network (radical, chessshaped, diametrical networks, etc) [6] and especially if it is close to housing, it can also increase the value of the house [7]. Authorities are expected to provide citizens with an effective, accessible, secure, and equitable transportation service [1]. The condition of public transportation with low accessibility is an interesting part to be studied more deeply.…”

Transportation accessibility is an important issue related to the existence of transportation in urban areas which is less attractive to the public because it is often considered inappropriate. The Surabaya City Department of Transportation developed Suroboyo Bus as an alternative to solve the problems of public transportation. What's interesting is Suroboyo Bus is not only safe, comfortable, and can be accessed online. However, the payment innovation paid for plastic waste. So that the spirit of presenting environmentally friendly public transportation becomes an innovation that deserves to be appreciated. The article was developed with a quantitative approach whose data was collected through a questionnaire from users of the Suroboyo Bus route Unesa-ITS. The data were analyzed by using a linear regression test on the service quality variables of Suroboyo Bus and the accessibility variables. The results showed that there is a relationship between the variable quality of public transportation services to the Suroboyo Bus accessibility.
