“…In addition to the specific attitude toward the travel mode, the travel behavior effects of general attitudes with a broad concept have been studied. For example, a positive attitude toward physical activity promotes bicycling and walking behaviors [ 67 ]. Based on samples of Swedish commuters, Johansson et al [ 27 ] found that attitudes toward flexibility and comfort influence mode choice.…”

Like many other transit modes, the metro provides stop-to-stop services rather than door-to-door services, so its use undeniably involves first- and last-mile issues. Understanding the determinants of the first- and last-mile mode choice is essential. Existing literature, however, mostly overlooks the mode choice effects of traffic safety perception and attitudes toward the mode. To this end, based on a face-to-face questionnaire survey in Shenzhen, China, this study uses the two-sample t-test to confirm the systematic differences in traffic safety perception and attitudes between different subgroups and develops a series of multinomial logistic (MNL) models to identify the determinants of first- and last-mile mode choice for metro commuters. The results of this study show that: (1) Walking is the most frequently used travel mode, followed by dockless bike-sharing (DBS) and buses; (2) Variances in traffic safety perception and attitude exist across gender and location; (3) Vehicle-related crash risks discourage metro commuters from walking to/from the metro station but encourage them to use DBS and buses as feeder modes; (4) DBS–metro integration is encouraged by the attitude that DBS is quicker than buses and walking, and positive attitudes toward the bus and DBS availability are decisive for the bus–metro and DBS–metro integration, respectively; and (5) Substantial differences exist in the mode choice effects of traffic safety perception and attitudes for access and egress trips. This study provides a valuable reference for metro commuters’ first- and last-mile travel mode choice, contributing to developing a sustainable urban transport system.

“…Moreover, prior studies also indicates the role of attitude towards mode choice [16], [18], [21], [38], [39]. Several studies have used attitude to evaluate whether passengers would like to use ride-sourcing [40], [41].…”

“…Moreover, most travel behavior studies have shifted from only integrating variables concerning trip characteristics (e.g., distance, travel time, and costs) and personal characteristics (e.g., age, income, and occupation) to also accommodating multi-dimensional variables, such as attitude and satisfaction [4], [7], [16]- [18]. This is because a user's particular attitude and satisfaction with a particular mode influence their travel behavior, such as the mode choice [19]- [21]. It appears that when the attitude towards certain modes is positive, due to the satisfaction experienced on previous trips, people tend to take the same mode of transport on their next trip [22], [23].…”

Ample evidence shows that ride-sourcing can substitute the existing transport system (i.e., public transport or private transport). However, the effect of the type of trip (i.e., commuting or transport station trips) on this substitution is still not fully understood. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the substitution effect of ride-sourcing based on the type of trip, i.e., commuting trips as well as trips to transport stations (e.g., the airport, terminal, rail station), conducted by private vehicles and public transport services. The effects of socio-demographics, spatial characteristics, and attitude were integrated into the discriminant model to explore this further. For this purpose, this study collected data from a questionnaire distributed to ride-sourcing users in Bandung in 2020. Discriminant and multivariate analyses are used to investigate the substitution effect of ride-hailing. It is found that the substitution of private transportation occurs for high-income online transport users and longer trips. Moreover, people who previously used public transportation are associated with users who experience increased productivity. Ride-sourcing vehicles, such as online taxis, provide more space for activities. In addition, a lack of access to other transportation tends to be associated with public transport users rather than private vehicle owners. Public transport users can experience increased productivity because the travel time is significantly reduced when ride-sourcing is used. The improvement of public transport, specifically for people who are carrying more belongings and have more intense and widespread activity participation, is then suggested by this study.

Understanding the effects of travel demand management on metro commuters’ behavioural loyalty: a hybrid choice modelling approach

2021

As part of efforts to promote sustainable mobility, many cities are currently experiencing the rapid expansion of their metro network. The consequent growth in ridership motivates a broad range of travel demand management (TDM) policies, both in terms of passenger flow control and dynamic pricing strategies. This work aims to reveal the impact of TDM on metro commuters' behavioural loyalty using stated preference data collected in Guangzhou, China. Commuters' behavioural response to TDM strategies is investigated in terms of the possible shift in departure time and travel mode. A hybrid choice model framework is used to incorporate four latent variables of interest, i.e., service quality, overall impression, external attractiveness and switching cost, into the discrete choice model and thereby capture the relationships between the attitudinal factors and observed variables. The model estimation results indicate that the four latent variables all prove useful in interpreting commuters' behavioural loyalty. Commuters' perceived service quality and overall impression both show a positive effect on their willingness to continue travelling by metro and are thus instructive for ridership retention. External attractiveness is found to be significant only in the case of the tendency to shift to a private car. Switching costs reveal commuters' emotional attachment to their already developed commuting habit. These insights into commuters' behavioural change intention enable metro operators to enhance commuters' loyalty to their service and develop more effective TDM strategies in future practice. Keywords behavioural change • nested logit model • attitude • factor analysis • SP-off-RP survey • urban rail transitSection 5 reports the model estimation results and discusses the policy implications. In the last section, the conclusions drawn from the above content are summarised, and directions for future work are discussed.
