“…The public transport should be connected to other modes of transport, so that students can adjust their travel plans accordingly. This was consistent with the findings of de O ña, Estévez and de O ña [20], Yao, Xu, Zhang and Li [70], Deepa, Mondal, Raman, Pinjari, Bhat, Srinivasan, Pendyala and Ramadurai [76].…”

The risk of accidents is a danger in public transport that could lead to threats to property, the environment, and the lives and health of people. In particular, parents are keenly aware of and concerned about the safety of school trips. Thus, this study aims to examine the factors that influence the perceptions of parents about the safety of the school trips of children. The study recruited 750 respondents from Northeast Thailand. Data were obtained from responses to a self-report questionnaire. The model consisted of six factors, namely, transportation satisfaction, infrastructure, information, the safe behavior of drivers, the safety of the transportation systems, and the safety policy. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that all six factors were in accordance with the empirical data (model fit statistic: χ2 = 758.098, df = 276, χ2/df = 2.747, CFI = 0.962, TLI = 0.955, SRMR = 0.038, RMSEA = 0.048). The results can serve as a reference for developing guidelines and recommending policies for the management and the implementation of safe school trips for students.

“…It is also widely believed that such intentions are somewhat associated with subsequent behavioral preferences [29,36]. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) [37], the Norm Activation Theory (NAT) [38], the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) [39][40][41][42], and the Value-Belief-Norm (VBN) theory put forward by [43] serve as the theoretical foundation for this study, as discussed below.…”

“…In terms of the theoretical contributions, this study extends the scope of the TPB [37], NAT [38], NEP [39][40][41][42], and VBN [43] by ascertaining the relationships among the selected variables related to pro-environmental behaviors in the transportation industry. Contextually, it is believed that this study is among the few pioneer studies that have attempted to explore the psycho-social factors that shape the travelers' intention to continue to use the Metro as a travel mode in Qatar.…”

“…The NEP was conceptualized [39][40][41][42] in response to the issue regarding the detrimental effects of human activities on the fragile biosphere. Similarly, the VBN theory was postulated by [43], who focused on several values related to environmental behaviors, such as self-regard and self-sacrifice toward other humans, the environment, and the planet, which all play a role in driving pro-environmental human behaviors.…”

Studying the Joint Effects of Perceived Service Quality, Perceived Benefits, and Environmental Concerns in Sustainable Travel Behavior: Extending the TPB

2023

The importance of the sustainability concept has gained increasing attention from scholars and practitioners. In this context, the aim of this study was to examine the determinants of intention to continue to use the new Metro in Qatar, which is considered a sustainable mode of travel. Therefore, in this paper, a special attention was paid to certain variables, such as environmental concern, perceived quality, and perceived benefits. A quantitative method approach was employed, in which data were collected based on self-administered questionnaires. A total of 1334 Qatar residents responded to the survey questionnaire, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used for hypothesis testing. The results confirmed the direct effects of perceived behavioral control, social influence, and attitudes on the intention of residents to continue to use the Metro network in their travel. Moreover, perceived behavioral control was found to play a mediating role, enhancing the indirect relationship between perceived benefits and intention to continue to use the Metro network. More importantly, environmental concerns significantly and positively affected the attitudes and perceived behavioral control of travelers; furthermore, these variables presented a mediated influence—through service quality—on the intention to continue to use the Metro network. This study enriched the sustainability behavior literature by examining the influences of crucial factors. Thus, this study is considered of great value for policy-makers who hope to maximize the awareness level of environmental sustainability among the population, in order to encourage them to embrace changes in their lifestyle towards becoming more environmentally responsible.

“…As a result, there might arise endogeneity issues and/or biased parameter estimates due to common unobserved factors that influence both the mode choice as well as the extent of its usage. Future studies can use a joint MNL-Ordered logit framework or a unified MNL framework as used recently by [ 36 ]. Moreover, further studies might look into an understanding of travel behavior to explore impacts of other factors such as attitudes (behavioral factors) and built environment on commuters’ preference for RHS.…”

Recent developments in urban transportation services are rapidly transforming the way people make their trips. Around the world, the most controversial and rapidly growing mobility services in recent years are ride-hailing services (RHS) offered by transportation network companies (TNCs) such as Uber and Ola. This research estimates the demand for RHS vis-à-vis other modes and further expands to estimate usage propensity of RHS in the capital city of India, New Delhi. A discrete choice modeling framework is developed based on a household travel surveys ( N = 426) conducted in 2019. Two models were developed, a multinomial logit (MNL) model, to estimate the factors that lead to the adoption of RHS, and an ordered logit (OL) model, to estimate the frequency of usage of RHS. The results reveal a comprehensive set of socio-demographic and behavioral factors which leads to greater adoption of RHS. The variables such as household income, vehicle ownership, and use of smartphone are found to be important predictors (with a 95% significance level) of service adoption of RHS. The model results also suggest that RHS are likely to be used infrequently, and when it is being used, they are more likely to be used by the younger population and during the weekends. Overall, this research brings valuable and novel insights into the adoption and usage of RHS in India.
