“…Older people are starting to use these new services more, and smartphone use is spreading to the older population. In general, the use of new mobility services by men is much higher [15], so urban travel apps can be designed to consider three different target populations: (i) people who use more new mobility services through apps, namely young people and older adults interested in technology; (ii) older adults not much interested in technology; and (iii) women.…”

“…In MaaS tests, multimodal subscription packages with economic advantages are more attractive [7]. In the case of UbiGo, some drivers wanted to test whether it was cheaper than using their own car [17], and some users claim that car-sharing is cheaper than their own car [15]. More affluent drivers are less likely to use Park and Ride [18].…”

In recent decades cities have applied a number of policy measures aimed at reducing car use and increasing public transportation (PT) patronage. Persuasive strategies to change mobility behavior present notable limitations in economic and logistical terms and have only minor impacts. The smartphone has emerged as a promising tool to overcome these challenges, as it can host persuasion strategies through mobility apps. Simultaneously, Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) schemes could open up new possibilities for addressing both sustainability goals and the needs of urban travelers. This paper carries out a literature review to identify the key elements of mobility apps that foster more sustainable travelers’ choices. The findings show that some persuasive strategies such as eco-feedback, rewards or social challenges are effective because they are well received by users. From the users’ point of view, the perceived barriers (e.g., usability, privacy) relate negatively to app adoption, and it is considered useful to include functional needs such as real-time information (e.g., to avoid congestion), cost savings (e.g., customized multimodal packages), comfort (e.g., crowding on public transport) or health (e.g., calories burned). We have found that a proper design of multimodal travel packages based on (i) financial incentives and (ii) environmental awareness, could help increase public transport patronage and reduce private car use.

Denmark is one of the world’s leading cycling countries. For most new residents coming from abroad, the Danish cycling culture strongly contrasts with the mobility culture of their country of origin. Based on an online survey including students and knowledge workers who grew up in Denmark (n=106) and abroad (n=148), this study examined safety perception and cycling frequency of both groups. We found a significant increase of foreigner’s self-reported safety perceptions and cycling frequencies after moving to Denmark. In regression analyses, we found that age of learning to cycle, experiencing anger from car drivers, stress and being unaware of cycling rules had an effect on safety perception. Stress and driving anger were significant factors for the sub-sample of newcomers, but not for Danes. Attitude towards cycling and cycling norm in the country of origin (measured based on a new 6-item cycling norm index, CNI) were significant factors of cycling frequency. Unlike our expectations, a low CNI increased cycling frequency in Denmark. Newcomers’ cycling frequency was additionally influenced by the age of learning to cycle. Based on the results, it seems advisable to help newcomers to cycling countries to get familiar with formal and informal cycling rules to reduce their stress and make them feel safer when cycling. While this will probably reduce conflicts with car drivers, efforts to reduce car drivers’ anger expression against cyclists also need to be increased.
