This paper continues the research effort that the authors begun in 2008 on the quality factors that affect adoption of public transportation and retention of its users. The objective of this paper is to explore the impacts of the deep, 7-year economic crisis, on the perceptions of public transport users, with bus as their main transport mode, about...

This research investigates the passengers' level of satisfaction from the use of diverse public transport systems. The aim is to uncover factors that drive their modal choices and to assess the quality implications of the variability of the users' perceived satisfaction through the use of two statistical methods (ordered logit and linear mixed mode...

The aim of this paper is to propose a new scheme for the reorganization of a public transport system in order to cover seasonal demand. The scope of the paper is to enhance the use of the public transport system and to minimize the use of private cars. The island of Kos is one of the Greek islands that hosts every summer more than 1,000,000 visitor...

People's perceptions about the appropriate location of mobility centers are modeled. A case study for the Municipality of Kalamaria in Thessaloniki, Greece, is presented. The results of a stated preference survey, which revealed residents' perceptions about the optimal locations for these centers, as well as the spatial and other characteristics of...

The purpose of this paper was to show how vehicle positioning data collected through global positioning systems (GPS) or similar applications can be used in quality control programs of public transit operators to better assess the quality and performance of transportation services, and improve them. The paper describes the concept of the integratio...

The scientific field of mobility management receives greater attention as traffic congestion and its severe effects cannot be dealt in an effective way. This mainly occurs in urban areas. How are these issues handled in regions, mainly touristic, where the seasonal variations of transport demand need a different approach? The DELTA project addresse...

This research focuses on passenger's perception of transit performance with an emphasis on the variability between operators and the policy implications of such differences. Two statistical methods (factor analysis and ordered logit modeling) have been used to assess the quality implications of the variability of the users' perceived satisfaction a...

The quality of the services provided to the passengers is synonymous with a wide range of characteristics of the transportation system, such as safety, on-time performance, accessibility, efficiency, and many others. Today, more and more public transport operators and associated bodies (e.g. ministries and supervising organizations) worldwide inves...

Strategic cooperation in all fields of economic activity between Europe and Asia is seen as beneficial for both sides and of outmost importance for the economic development and prosperity for both regions. Transport of goods between the two regions is by definition almost in its totality intermodal transport. Any actions or policies that facilitate...
