“…The willingness to use a mode and the loyalty to the mode are important attitudinal constructs uncovered by the analysis presented in this research, a finding supported by Shiftan et al (2008) and Shiftan et al (2015). Lieberman et al (2001) and Popuri et al (2011) also found concern for the comfort and the perceived safety in the level of service of public transport.…”

In many European cities, mobility patterns are changing mainly due to advances in information and communications technology. Besides from this, people living in urban areas have now more transport mode alternatives to travel and the ownership of a vehicle is losing relevance to the modern world. In addition, the new generations value the time spent in the trip in a different way and they take advantage of travel time by means of connectivity (i.e. multitasking).As a result of the complexity of transport supply and transport demand preferences, the choice of transport alternative does not currently depend only on traditional cost, time and socioeconomic aspects. Therefore, we have focused the investigation on attitudes, habits and perceptions, to incorporate latent variables in the individual utility function.For this purpose, we have designed a web-based survey, based on qualitative in-depth interviews that revealed indicators of the travellers of Barcelona. The first section includes individual questions about a recent trip experience and the second part tests attitudinal aspects. A principal component analysis of the items asked in the attitudinal section has been carried out, obtaining 11 relevant factors that allocate respondents to different groups of users according to their attitudes and perceptions.The results show that in Barcelona, users, especially millennials, take advantage of new technologies in their journeys, their time perception changes if they do activities during the trip and they perceive car and bike sharing as a good mobility solution instead of the ownership and use of a private car.

“…Public transport very often means crowds and standing in the vehicle, so it is no wonder that if there is a possibility of choice, this transport mode is less interesting for older adults and the elderly [23]. Besides convenience, some studies showed that attitudes towards transport mode use [24] as well as social status-related attitudes are predictors of transport mode preferences [25], which could also explain the strong car-only use habit among older adults and elderly people in our study.…”

“…Since Lebanon does not have trains, metros, or somewhat acceptable bus transport system, travelers call for taxi service or utilize a car for hire service rather than flagging down passing cabs. "Since attitudes toward travel affect the daily mode choice behavior, the choice of public transportation could in turn affect attitudes in the longer term" (Popuri, Proussaloglou, Ayvalik, Koppelman, & Lee, 2011).…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Lebanese public transport on the sustainability of internal and inbound tourism. The study dependent variables were the three research hypotheses: (1) safety of public transport; (2) reliability of public transport; and (3) fixed pricing. The results of the multivariate analysis test showed strong significance for the need to avoid stress and use the hop-on hop-off bus (F = 7.47, p = 0.001), the need for a reliable bus (F = 8.16, p = 0.01) especially for those living far from their work/school, and the need to save time on the road using the bus (F = 5.10, p = 0.012). Also, the study shows that those living far from their work/school (F = 5.15, p = 0.01) would prefer a monthly payment pass.
