“…In Pune, Al-Atawi and Saleh (2013) showed that female walking trip shares were 52% higher than men's, 61% higher in Bamako, and a 100% higher in Ashgabat (Al-Atawi and Saleh, 2013). In Tabuk, women tend to have a lower proportion of trips involving personal vehicles like bicycles or personalised motorized modes as it was found in Saleh and Al-Atawi (2015), Train (2003) and Adetunji (2013).…”

In order to increase efficiency and sustainability, it is of crucial importance to have an in depth understanding and investigation of travellers' behaviour, preferences, attitudes and choices. In this context, this paper investigates car-sharing as a mode for travel for work trips in Tabuk city for both male and female travellers. Tabuk is one of the regional capitals situated in north-western Saudi Arabia, which has recently generated enormous intra-and inter-city transportation demand due its rapid economic growth and due to recent oil and gas based growth economy in recent years. Investigation of the characteristics of trip makers which impact on the decision of selecting car-sharing as a mode of travel is presented for each of the males and females. In this context, this paper investigates the feasibility of car sharing schemes in Saudi Arabia and the impacts of gender on the use of this mode of travel for work trips in Tabuk city. The analysis presented in the paper provide an addition to practice and academic work in the area of investigations of choices of modes of travel and factors which contribute to it in Saudi Arabia (SA). In addition, SA is a developing country with unique cultural and traffic characteristics, to encourage further enhancement and utilization of this mode. Further investigations in these areas are still needed.

“…These needs are often spatially distributed and therefore it is necessary to travel in order to reach them and at the same time selecting the transport mode. A series of different factors still influence the patterns, complexity and frequency of such travelling, including the transport mode choice [9].…”

“…These results are similar to IIesa, Nigeria where more than 70 per cent of the women depend on public transport for their day-to-day transactions. Also, 65 per cent of the men depend on their own personal means of transport to commute to different activity centres (Adetunji, 2013). In terms of car-sharing, 30.7 and 41.6 per cent of daughters and wives reported that they use car-sharing to go to work (Table I).…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to investigate the actual demand on formal car-sharing scheme in Saudi Arabia as a means of public modes of transport in order to assess the potential future of this mode in Saudi Arabia as a policy measure. Design/methodology/approach -In this context, this paper investigates the potential feasibility of introducing formal car-sharing scheme as a means of public modes of transport in Tabuk city. Investigation of the characteristics of trip makers, which impact on the decision of selecting the currently available informal car-sharing as a mode of travel, is presented. The paper investigates the factors which affect the decisions of car-sharing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia using the household survey data. Discrete choice modelling techniques have been adopted in this research to investigate behaviour and attitudes to car-sharing and the binary logit model has been utilised. Findings -From the results, in the case of Tabuk, the main factor in selection of the transport mode is the social role, and specifically the role inside the family. Results showed that about 49 per cent of total respondents drive to work, while about 20 per cent reported that they use car-sharing. About 8 per cent of respondents reported that they use a private driver, while other 8 per cent reported that they use a contracted driver. Originality/value -Investigation of the potential of introducing formal car-sharing scheme in Saudi Arabia as a means of public modes of transport in Saudi Arabia which is a more sustainable mode of transport.
