“…This finding emphasizes the need for personalized information to increase travelers' willingness to use PT, particularly for more intricate multi-destination trips. It supports the findings by Chowdhury and Ceder (2013), which states that high-quality information improves users' control beliefs, leading to a stronger intention-behavior relationship.…”

“…PT also plays a critical role in the attractiveness of a city for tourists; cities with effective and extensive PT networks are potentially more attractive for tourists (Le-Klahn and Hall 2015). To improve PT services globally, transport agencies are upgrading their networks to be more integrated (Chowdhury and Ceder 2013). A key integration element is information integration.…”

Public transport travelers require well-integrated, real-time information systems to use a network. The objective of this study was twofold: (1) to develop a model to determine the effect of personalized information provision through smartphones on user ability to plan multi-destination trips, and (2) to understand user perception of riding public transport aided by real-time, multi-destination trip-planning smartphone applications. Auckland Pioneer was developed for multi-destination trip planning and integrates real-time public transport services with search functions for places of interest. A test trial was conducted in Auckland, New Zealand, and the findings show the effects of the application on multidestination trip planning in comparison to traditional information sources such as GoogleTransit. This research contributes to existing literature by demonstrating the importance of personalized information en-route for user multi-destination trip planning. With information to assist trip planning and provide step-by-step guidance en-route, users tend to feel more confident to ride public transport.

“…Strategic location of transfer points can expand the destination choices for PT users and thus improving service accessibility (Luk and Olszewski 2003). Chowdhury and Ceder (2013) discussed the importance of integration in a PT network to improve connectivity of the network and user perception of transfers. The study proposed a definition-based framework to assist policymakers and planners in designing "seamless" transfers in an integrated network.…”

“…Transport for London's initiative for fare system integration produced the "Oyster" smartcard, which can be used on all PT modes (Graham 2013). Only particular lines in Auckland are integrated; users, depending on the path, need to buy separate tickets for a route involving transfers (Chowdhury and Ceder 2013). Table 6 shows that Auckland's network has the lowest average availability of information connectivity value, and the value for London and Paris is the same.…”

“…Despite Auckland Transport's recent efforts to develop an integrated PT system, Auckland's network suffers from a number of companies operating individually. The lack of information integration in all three stages of a trip requiring a transfer creates confusion for the users (Chowdhury and Ceder 2013). A majority of the bus stops with shelters are equipped with route maps and timetables and a smaller proportion with real-time displays.…”
