“…One advantage is its suitability for modeling binary or categorical dependent variables, for example. In the case of Dzisi and Lugada (2021), binary logistic regression proved to be the ideal approach for constructing an appropriate model when predicting the probability of students switching their mode of transportation from motorcycles to bicycles.…”

“…The characteristics of profiles for car users who are less willing to switch to a sustainable mode were outlined by Beria et al (2021) at the Polytechnic University of Milan. Dzisi and Lugada (2021) sought to understand the underlying factors influencing bicycle usage and developed models to explain the potential shift from motorcycle taxis to bicycles. Two Chilean universities, Lizana, Tudela, and Tapia (2021), highlighted the processes behind bicycle mode choice decisions, incorporating pro-bicycle attitudes and habits.…”

“…They also employed hierarchical binary logistic regressions to analyze car use in mandatory and leisure activities. Ton and Duives (2021) used chi-square tests, independent sample t-tests, and a binary logistic regression model to observe the adherence of students and employees to e-bike use; Dzisi and Lugada (2021) conducted an exploratory factor analysis and binary logistic regression analysis, through which they discovered factors with implications for cycling, such as safety and demographic characteristics.…”

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.

“…It has become a major transport mode since the ease of finding parking spaces, the ability to keep moving during congestion [12], low operational cost [13], and also triggered by drawbacks in public transport services [14]. It is used for various trip purposes and even for public transport called motorcycle taxis [15]- [17] and tended to increase [18], including in rural areas [19]. Its modified version, called the three-wheeler, also becomes a low-cost transport mode in rural areas [20].…”

Motorcycle numbers in Indonesia are growing rapidly and contribute 84.4% of total motor vehicles. The death numbers from road traffic accidents (RTA) involving motorcycles also increase to 74% of the deaths, including young motorcyclists. WHO reported that RTA is the leading cause of death for people aged between 5-29 years. A series of Revealed and Stated Preference surveys have been undertaken to explore the characteristics of young motorcyclist trips and their behaviors towards three different virtual parking schemes aimed at finding the best parking schemes to control motorcycle usage among young motorcyclists. Therefore, the number of young motorcyclist-related RTA could be reduced. The finding suggests that young motorcyclists preferred using off-street parking over on-street parking. The preferred distance between parking premises and activity centers is less than 50 meters. The offstreet parking would be selected instead of the on-street parking, although its price is higher. The Willingness to pay for each proposed parking scheme is IDR 3,373, IDR 3,509, and IDR 3,618. It is below the ability to pay, which is IDR 4,100. Thus, an on-street parking scheme with progressive pricing and a minimum base price of IDR 5,000 is proposed, where at least 30% of parking lots should be allocated for short-term parking. Finally, the proposed parking scheme must be supported by reliable public transport services based on the young motorcyclist preferences, which would be the direction of future research.

Boda bodas: The new form of adventure tourist transportation in Uganda

Tourist transportation at local destinations has transformed, with the use of motorcycles (Boda-bodas) becoming popular, especially for adventurous tourists. In Uganda, motorcycle taxis, also known as Boda-bodas are now popular as both a mode of tourist mobility and a tourist product. This paper makes one of the first attempts to integrate the Ugandan Boda-boda tourist transport into the global tourism academic debate. Results show a surge in the number of private operators who are providing affordable and flexible transport services to both locals and tourists. As such, more Boda-boda riders are joining government licensed associations/orgamisations for authentication. Despite its growing popularity, Boda-boda transport is still associated with challenges of road accidents and loss of clients’ property mainly due to poor enforcement and observance of road traffic and safety regulations coupled with the current poor state of the roads. Going forward, there is an urgent need to institutionalize Boda-boda tourist transport to ensure safety and security of tourists and their property as well as other road users.
