“…ese results confirm that people living in neighborhoods who are easily accessible by transit tend to reduce car use [39,40]. Moreover, as the distance to the city center increases, drivers will have a higher evaluation of the instrumental and affective attitudes toward a car and will use a car more for short trips.…”

The purpose of this study is to explore the factors associated with car use for short trips. Using the data collected from a travel survey conducted with car users in Kunming, the structural equation model is employed to explore the structural relationships between car use for short trips, attitudes toward cars and alternative travel modes, sociodemographics, and the built environment. The results show that instrumental and symbolic attitudes toward cars are positively related to the affective attitude, and these three attitudes have a significant effect on car use for short trips. The symbolic attitude of drivers is negatively associated with their walking and cycling attitudes. Drivers with a better cycling attitude use a car less frequently for short trips. Concurrently, the effects of sociodemographics and the built environment on the attitudes and car use for short trips are also identified. The findings may contribute to understanding the car use behavior and help policy makers to identify methods for reducing car use more clearly.

“…Accessibility in terms of both time to the service and the time spent using the service itself also influences passenger decisions [18,19]. Finally, proximity is another important factor that directly affects the choice to use public transport [20,21]. Based on the above-mentioned requirements for decisions to use public transit, TOD will help in upgrading these features and directly attract ridership or station area use.…”

The purpose of this work is to support the transitoriented development (TOD) in Thailand. The main research objective is to explore the relationship between ridership demand and TOD indicators, which is expected to be the first question that a developer in Thailand must be able to answer in order to direct their development plan in the right direction. Using existing Bangkok metro stations as a case study, 22 variables categorized into three groups (density, diversity, and design) were collected for an 800-m buffer area around the stations. Results of the correlation analysis between transit ridership and other variables show a significant relation with the volume of transit ridership. Bus services have a stronger influence on transit ridership than railway stations and ferries (pier). Also, the interchange stations and park-and-ride buildings are found to be the main variables that correlate directly with the transit ridership numbers. Results from the principal component analysis are used to evaluate factors of TOD characteristics for the existing Bangkok metro stations, categorized into seven factor groups.

“…In addition, a large number of previous studies on the influence of travel behavior have been carried out, but only from a single perspective of subjective psychology or the objective environment; a comprehensive analysis that combines both factors is lacking. In this context, the RSS effect, which remains a significant contributory factor for certain populations when sustainable modes are considered [27], should be of greater concern because the travel behavior and especially the transit preferences of Chinese residents are dissimilar to those of Europeans and Americans [28].…”

Extending the Theory of Planned Behavior to Explore the Influence of Residents’ Dependence on Public Transport

The accurate depiction and understanding of the influence mechanism of residents' dependence on public transport (RDPT) is an important foundation for increasing the proportion of green trips and alleviating urban traffic congestion. To explore the influence mechanism of RDPT, this paper extends the theory of planned behavior (TPB) by introducing objective factors of attributes, environment, and travel characteristics. The agglomerative nesting clustering algorithm and multiple structural equation modeling (SEM) are then developed to identify the RDPT levels and analyze the influence relationships between the integrated influencing factors and RDPT based on travel survey data. The results indicate that the objective variables have indirect impacts on RDPT by influencing psychological variable attitudes, subjective norms and perceived control and travel intention. The residents' self-selection (RSS) effects of different clusters are all detected under normal conditions, and the environment on RDPT is still significant after controlling for this effect. The findings reflect that the influence mechanisms of the three SEMs for different clusters are distinct, unlike those of the baseline model, and distinctive observation variables have dissimilar explanatory abilities for the travel intention of different residents. Therefore, some beneficial policy implications are proposed for residents, especially those who retain low and relatively low public transport dependence levels, to increase public transport usage while reduce the car usage based on the significant findings.
