The Deutschlandticket, introduced in May 2023, offers unlimited travel on all regional public transport in Germany for 49€ per month. This paper provides an overview of how the intro-duction of the ticket influenced travel behaviour and mode choice based on the GIM Traces panel, a nationwide...

Riding electric bicycles and using public transport are popular alternatives to private car use. Utilizing data from a 2022 survey of 6,285 participants in Germany, we examine who typically owns e-bikes or public transport tickets. We firstly employ regression analyses to identify correlations...

Excessive car-use by individuals and households poses significant challenges for regions attempting to develop and grow sustainably. School-runs are a staple trip for households and this consistency presents unique opportunities for policymakers to facilitate shifts toward more sustainable...

We present a new model for estimating the distribution of international freight transport over transport modes that is directly applicable to aggregated data, allows estimations and predictions also when some modes are infeasible on some routes, and requires few processing time and memory space....

A preliminary analysis of the 2018/2019 Austin Travel Survey indicated that most off-campus students in Travis County, TX, tend to use cars rather than more sustainable transportation modes, significantly contributing to traffic congestion and environmental impact. This study aims to analyze the...

Aim: As part of its climate and sustainability policies, the European Union actively fosters the transition from air to rail travel, for example by improving the international railway infrastructure, liberalizing the European railway market and introducing an international booking system for...

Travel Behaviour Reconsidered in an Era of Decarbonisation argues that we need to recognise that our transport networks are mature, and that the aim should now be to improve operational efficiency, for which a fresh perspective on economic analysis is now needed

In 2022, Germany introduced a temporary 9-euro monthly ticket for unlimited local and regional public transport. We investigate its impact on mobility patterns, including increased public transport usage, reduced car traffic, and rail network congestion. Using difference-in-difference and...

This paper deals with the data generation process implemented for an analysis of the impact of the 9-Euro ticket on mode choice. We discuss the assumptions made and procedures used to process a raw dataset that is based on GPS traces of individuals’ movements and on survey data into the...

Discrete choice models have been widely used to model individuals' decision-making processes in numerous contexts. Given that people's tastes and preferences over alternative shopping destinations vary for reasons not necessarily observed by demographic characteristics, more intricate modeling...

This study analyses the behavioural response of travellers on a temporal reduction of public transport prices in Germany through the so-called 9 Euro Ticket during summer 2022. The focus is on the inertia effect, e.g. the resistance to change behaviour, on people's travel mode decisions for...

Der Verkehr ist sowohl eine Voraussetzung für wirtschaftlichen Wohlstand und die Wahrnehmung persönlicher Freiheitsrechte als auch ein bedeutender Verursacher lokaler und globaler Umweltprobleme. Die mitunter erbittert geführten verkehrspolitischen Kontroversen und ihre vielfältigen...

This article analyses occasional work commuting mobility within three major metropolitan areas in Czechia in the context of future HSR routes. The main aim is to explain uneven commuting flows of inter-metropolitan travelers through their level of income, given their potential for the use of HSR...

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected many aspects of our everyday lives. Governments have taken numerous measures to contain the spread of the pandemic, which has had a direct impact on daily mobility, modal choice and the function of public transport. This study uses quantitative and qualitative...

In der Bremer Öffentlichkeit wird aktuell ein Teilumzug der Universität Bremen an den zentralen Standort "Am Brill" intensiv diskutiert. Bisher gibt es jedoch keine Forschungen darüber, wie sich ein solcher Teilumzug auf das Mobilitätsverhalten der Studierenden auswirken würde. An dieser...

This paper examines the effects of changes in downtown parking supply on urban welfare, modal choice decisions and urban spatial structure using a spatial general equilibrium model of a closed monocentric city with two transport modes, endogenous residential parking and a form of bottleneck...
