This paper reports on the social, cultural, and demographic factors affecting Kuwaiti commuters. The objectives were to 1) investigate the awareness of Kuwaitis of transportation problems, 2) examine the perceptions of Kuwaitis of daily traffic congestion and how it affects them emotionally and physically, and the main objective 3) study the attitudes of Kuwaitis towards using public buses. An online survey was used to examine these factors, and a sample of five hundred transportation system users was obtained. The primary findings showed significant associations between the use of public transport buses and the user’s nationality, gender, age, education, and income level. Men are 2.6 times more likely to use buses, and non-Kuwaiti residents are 6.4 times more likely to use them. In relation to the perceptions of daily traffic congestion, findings indicate that with increase in travel time, commuters, in general, developed more negative feelings, such as exhaustion and stress. A large proportion of the sample population is aware of current local transportation problems and future transportation projects. The results of this study fill a gap in the knowledge of the socioeconomic and cultural factors that influence the success of sustainable public transportation solutions to the traffic challenges found in Kuwait. This knowledge is also crucial to foreign consultants working on planning and transportation projects in the region. It is recommended that officials use this new knowledge on cultural factors to develop integrated land use and transportation plans of the urban areas in Kuwait and to develop more effective and sustainable transportation demand management policies in support of UN Sustainable Development Goals that Kuwait has signed up to pursue.

“…Some researchers improved the parameters and variables of the classic trip mode choice model (Krygsman et al, 2007). Other researchers established new travel behavior models for specific study purposes, such as a travel satisfaction model (Xu and Recker, 2005), the value of different travel distance behavior (Guo 2006), departure-arrival time choice (Li et al, 2005), etc.…”

The rapid growth of passenger cars in Changchun has led to traffic problems. Various transit priority policies have been tried in the city, but none have worked well. Thus, the aim of this research is to provide a quantitative method for making more effective urban transit priority policies, by analyzing the relationship between the behavior of resident trip mode choice and three factors of transit priority policies. An order parameter equation of resident trip mode structure is established based on self-organizing theory. After calculating the value of resident travel time, linear programming is used to find the trip mode rates that maximize travel benefits. In this condition, the value of control variables, namely the solution of the order parameter equation, can be the basis of urban transit priority policy-making.
