“…When searching using the term "inland waterway" and the United States of America (USA), five papers were found. It is worth mentioning the oldest by Perakis [43] that highlights the savings that IWT can provide to logistics, Chi and Baek [44] emphasizing the importance of grain transportation on the Mississippi waterway in the USA, and Farazi et al [45] addressing political and institutional challenges for IWT in Illinois in the USA. When searching using the term "inland waterway" and China, 17 papers were found with important research on IWT.…”

Despite the presence of numerous navigable rivers in Brazil, they remain underutilized for Inland Waterway Transport (IWT). Given the recent changes in transport systems which aim to reduce reliance on highways due to their high cost and lack of sustainability, it becomes crucial to explore new transport models in Brazil, shifting part of the transport from roads to railways and mainly to waterways. To fill this gap in Brazil’s transport system, it was decided to check why waterways are little used and what challenges cause them to be underutilized and, additionally, what opportunities could leverage their use in the country. In this sense, in this study, we identify the biggest challenges and opportunities faced by IWT in Brazil. To achieve this objective, interviews were conducted using content analysis with managers who work in public and private IWT organizations active in Brazil. Results show that IWT has seen a recovery in interest in recent years due to the need for cheaper and greener logistics. It was also found that the main challenges that IWT faces are a lack of public policies followed by precarious infrastructure of waterways, ports and locks, as well as modest integration with other transport modes. Conversely, the most significant opportunity lies in the potential reduction in transport costs, coupled with the enhanced sustainability of transport activities via the utilization of IWT, thereby fostering greener transport practices. These results can contribute to a better understanding of practical and theoretical approaches related to IWT in Brazil, and they can serve as a reflection for new research focusing on the development of IWT especially in other emerging countries facing similar issues.

“…The various theories used in this study can describe the experiences of computer engineering students and students from other campuses using online transportation services (Farazi et al, 2022). The main advantage of online transportation is that the driver and their customer both know the whereabouts of each other's position.…”

The use of technology is overgrowing. In today's era, every field in everyday life utilizes technology. One of them is in the transportation industry. Currently, online delivery is viral, especially among students and students who are easy to remember as Millennials and Generation Z. Smartphones are used not only for communication but also for buying fast food and drinks online using online delivery services. Online like Gojek. This research examines the user experience of online transportation applications. Students from various regions in Indramayu and Computer Engineering students at Universitas Wiralodra participated in this study as respondents. Experience using online transportation application services via smartphones has been collected in an online questionnaire using a Google form and distributed on social media such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp and Telegram. This study uses a user experience questionnaire (UEQ). This study aims to determine user experience in using online transportation application services. This study provides results indicating that all UEQ categories obtain positive scores. The highest score is in the "Intelligence" category, while the "New" type gets the lowest score. Online transportation shows that Gojek has a "good" rating scale. Overall the Gojek application is excellent in providing an experience for those who use it.
