“…Cronbach's Alpha, often called CRA, was utilized to determine whether the questionnaire was consistent and reliable. The values of the CRA can range anywhere from 0 to 1, with values closer to 1 indicating more reliability [46,47]. According to the findings of this investigation, the computed CRA value was recorded as 0.74, indicating that the internal consistency of the questionnaire can be regarded as satisfactory [67].…”

“…This form of transportation reduces emissions that keep society safe and natural while being highly environmentally friendly. As identified in the existing research, various models [46,47] have been developed to study the influence of travelers' perceptions on adopting carpooling as a mode of transportation. However, in this research, the mediating effect of mode choice has also been incorporated to study its impact on the relationship between traveler perception and the tendency to carpool.…”

“…Specifically, this model examines how travelers' beliefs influence their willingness to carpool with other people. Despite this, several models [46,47] have been developed to influence the degree to which carpooling is adopted as a means of transportation. However, due to the complicated dynamics of carpooling, which include both behavioral factors and technical limits, researchers have also integrated the mediating effect of mode choice to explore its influence on the relationship between traveler perceptions and the desire to carpool.…”

As urban populations and transport demand expand, Pakistani metropolitan centers face traffic congestion and environmental challenges. This research aims to assess carpooling (CP) to alleviate traffic congestion, fuel demand, and pollution. This study was conducted in Islamabad, a fast-growing city with a high percentage of personal cars in Pakistan, to assess the travelers’ perceptions, and public acceptance of CP and determine the effects on traffic congestion, fuel consumption, and CO2 emissions. The investigation of travelers' perceptions towards CP was conducted through a stated preference questionnaire survey. A total of 700 responses from one million population of Islamabad were collected as per Sloven's Formula. SPSS and Smart PLS software were used for data analysis. Various factors influencing peoples’ travel perceptions, mode choice, and tendency to carpool, were categorized to evaluate the relationship between travelers’ perception and the tendency to carpool in the presence of mode choice as a mediating variable. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted in SMART PLS to refine the number of scale items for each variable. One-way ANOVA, step-wise and mediated multiple regression analysis was conducted in SPSS to check the direct and mediating relationship between different variables. Moreover, the probability of reducing traffic congestion and assessing fuel reduction resulting from CP was also analyzed. The findings imply that travelers’ mode choice acts as a mediator between the relationship between travelers’ perception and tendency to carpool. Furthermore, results predicted that CP might reduce 0.25 million cars on the road, about 33.6% of the total private vehicles. Thereby, saving up to 546,810 barrels per year, about 3.42% of Pakistan's total petrol consumption. The findings of this study could be helpful for transport planners, environmentalists, and policymakers to implement carpool systems. Thus, reducing traffic congestion and harmful CO2 emissions and maintaining a sustainable environment.

“…Ride-pooling attitude refers to residents ' positive or negative emotions about possible scenarios in ride-pooling [23]. Zhang Xin et al evaluated the factors affecting the intention of ride-pooling by analyzing the questionnaire data of 597 private car owners in Tianjin, China, and found that the attitude of ride-pooling has a mediating effect in the model [24].…”

In order to explore the mechanism of urban residents ' risk perception on ride-pooling intention under the background of public health crisis, based on the moderated mediation effect model, this paper explores the relationship between residents ' risk perception, ride-pooling attitude and ride-pooling intention through correlation analysis and mediation effect analysis, and uses bootstrap test to analyze the moderating effect of gender and residence risk level. The results show that: (1) There is a significant negative correlation between risk perception and the two dimensions of ride-pooling attitude and intention; there is a significant positive correlation between ride-pooling attitude and ride-pooling intention. (2) The attitude of ride-pooling plays a complete mediating role between risk perception and ride-pooling intention. (3) The direct predictive effect of risk perception on ride-pooling intention and the mediating effect of ride-pooling attitude will not be regulated by gender. The direct predictive effect of risk perception on ride-pooling intention will be regulated by the risk level of residence. Based on the above research results, some suggestions on epidemic prevention measures and platform management are put forward to provide reference for urban governance and ride-pool optimization.

“…The corresponding test results are shown in Table 6. The chi-square/degrees of freedom (χ 2 /d f ), root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA), comparative fit index (CFI), Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI), and standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) indicators are within acceptable limits [62,75], indicating that the overall fitness of this structural equation model is good.…”

The high-quality development of urban–rural buses is an important way to narrow the gap between urban and rural areas. However, studies on the quality of bus services and its impact on bus travel-mode choice have mostly focused on urban buses, with less attention paid to urban–rural buses. This paper aims to explore how urban–rural bus service quality affects rural residents’ travel-mode-choice behavior based on survey data from rural residents in Henan Province, China. A structural equation model (SEM) is applied to examine the critical factors affecting rural residents’ satisfaction with urban–rural bus service quality and the heterogeneity of satisfaction among rural residents with different attributes. Furthermore, an integrated approach of SEM and the multinomial logit (MNL) model is proposed to identify the key factors that affect rural residents’ bus travel-mode choice. The results indicate that reliability and convenience are the key factors affecting satisfaction with urban–rural bus service quality. There are significant differences in rural residents’ satisfaction by gender, age, income, education level, occupation, and travel-mode attributes. Urban–rural bus service quality has a significant positive impact on rural residents’ bus travel-choice behavior, and its degree of influence is greater than all explicit variables except private car ownership. The findings of this study can help operators and governments formulate policies to improve the service quality of urban–rural buses and ultimately promote the use of buses.
