“…54,45 % of them. This is in correspondence with results of other similar studies on tourists as PT users [28,29,30]. Most of them were the employed (37,03 %) and students (29,42 %), those who came to Belgrade on business -35,99% and to do their private business -28,80 %.…”

“…Finally, none of the other variables had a significant effect; the only exception to this general rule was that of overnight stays in a second residence, which increased the probability of using PT with respect to staying in one-, two-, or three-star hotels. Other studies have reported significant effects of variables as education level [8,49], age [7,55], or party structure [56]. Our results provided evidence in the same direction of the mentioned literature: a higher education level supposed a greater use of PT; as increasing the age, decreased the use of PT (this dynamic is noted for Le-Klähn et al [8,49], for tourists in urban areas); and the family, friends, and those travelling alone are more likely to use PT.…”

Abstract:Of all the activities associated with tourism, transport is the one that creates most pollution. However, the mobility of tourists at their destination is an activity that has so far received very little attention from researchers in comparison with that afforded to the transport mode used to travel from their point of origin to their destination. This paper provides new evidence about the use of public transport by tourists at their final destination. The study is based on data obtained from a survey conducted with tourists (N = 4336) on the Costa Daurada (Catalonia), a Mediterranean sun and beach resort. The empirical analysis is based on estimations made using a multinomial model of the transport mode chosen by tourists to travel to the Costa Daurada combined with another model that estimated the probability of them using public transport during their stay. The results show that the tourists who arrived by private car were the ones who least used public transport at the destination. This was despite the fact that these tourists had the profile that made them most likely to use this type of transportation. On the other hand, although the tourists who arrived by plane had the profile that made them least likely to use public transport, they were the ones who used it most. It is, therefore, possible to conclude that, in addition to tourist profile, another key factor in deciding whether tourists will use public transport at their destination is whether they will take their own car.

“…In the field of urban transport research, willingnessto-pay and acceptance play a significant role in the study of feasibility of new charges, especially congestion charge and road tolls [e.g., [3][4][5]], as well as new pricing schemes in public transport [6][7][8]. Analysis of intention-to-use is applied to identify persuasion strategies and promotion tools before the introduction of a new or improved product or service, such as information services [9], improved quality and integration of public transport [10][11][12], and automated driving [13]. Intention-to-use bike-sharing has also been investigated recently, including the identification of factors that may affect adoption [14][15][16], especially among young drivers [17] and tourists [18], as well as the study of acceptability of ICTs and new pricing policy [19].…”

Despite the recently increasing research interest, this is one of the first studies employing a panel sample of users and nonusers to understand the bike-sharing phenomenon ( = 205). On the basis of a novel surveying technique, a case study on the clients of the state-of-the-art bike-sharing scheme of Madrid (Spain) is presented. BiciMAD is a system of the latest generation, namely, multimodal demand responsive bike-sharing: a fleet of electric pedal-assisted bicycles (pedelecs) with an advanced technology and unique smart service configuration to tackle challenges that may hinder the promotion of cycling and bike-sharing in the city. A statistical test has verified that there is a moderate association between previous intention and actual use of bike-sharing (Cramer's V = 0.25) and both barriers and motivators of further use have been identified. Indicators on mobility patterns show that although drawing primarily from other sustainable modes of transport, bike-sharing has increased mobility (total number and distance of trips) and especially active travel but decreased the perceived travel time.
