Revealing Daily Mobility Pattern Disparities of Monomodal and Multimodal Travelers through a Multi-Layer Cluster Analysis: Insights from a Combined Big Dataset

“…The gender and income influencing effects in mobility pattern choices had also been confirmed by Pani et al [28] and Buehler and Hamre [6]. More results can be found in mobility pattern distinctions for specific populations, like adolescents or young people [29], and people with large households [30], or when considering certain trip stages like the access stage [31][32][33].…”

Nonetheless, adolescents reported enjoying the time to socialise on buses ( Hinckson, 2016 , Jones et al, 2012 , Green et al, 2014 ), but bullying and the costs of buses were seen as barriers ( Barker et al, 2019 , Broome et al, 2010 , Hinckson, 2016 ).
