An increasing literature investigates the role of policy entrepreneurs in promoting climate policies. Their role in maintaining policies is, however, rarely addressed in this literature. As climate policies are contested, they are also prone to weakening and rollbacks – and policies targeting private cars are no exception. Comparing the electrification of the vehicle fleet and increased use of biofuels in the Norwegian private car transport segment, we argue that by concentrating on the <em>processes</em> and analysing the connection between actors and policies across measures, we can better understand why and how policy instruments are maintained. The cases are interesting because they are the two most important climate policies in Norway targeting private cars. To stay successful, we find that policy entrepreneurs have to continue to remain active and alert after a policy-decision in their favour has been taken. To avoid rollback and achieve further policy change, they make use of different entrepreneurial strategies. We also find that in a democracy like Norway, where minority governments are common, the national budget negotiations create particularly important policy windows for low-carbon transport policies. We conclude that policy entrepreneurs play pivotal roles in maintaining policies and preventing backlash. Successful policy entrepreneurship is conditioned by persistence and ability to analyze the parliamentary situation combined with skillful choices of entrepreneurial strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46989,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies on Transport Policy","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 101662"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145615629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Punctuality, which may be interpreted as timetable adherence or overall travel time predictability, is often pointed out as the most important constituent of overall service reliability of public transport systems. However, in order for operators to be able to improve passengers’ perceptions of service reliability, an empirically derived linkage between perceptions and actual service performance indicators must be established. This paper has addressed this issue by using six-year longitudinal dataset on half-year resolution level from the regional public transport system of Scania, Sweden, to relate various indices of actual service reliability, obtained from service performance indicators, to stated satisfaction with punctuality for trains and buses. This was done by means of linear regression models using a stepwise approach to eliminate redundant variables, based on the level of independence of each variable. The results indicate that average arrival delay and frequency of early departures in relation to schedule are the most important factors of service reliability to explain travellerś perceptions of punctuality. Thus, for instance, average arrival delay and schedule adherence are indicated to have three times larger impact on satisfaction than frequency of early departures. But we also find that other service quality factors such as cleanliness, safety, and seat availability are also indicated to have an impact on perceptions of service reliability. It is emphasized that appropriate service performance data, and their relation to perceptions of passengers, constitutes crucial information for commercial and public providers in their ambition to improve levels of passenger satisfaction with operations but that the optimal level of punctuality is likely to differ between different passenger categories, and thus services.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46989,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies on Transport Policy","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 101669"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145615631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Cash, code, and congestion: A case study on MaaS adoption barriers and policy implications in Hanoi","authors":"Van Chung Hoang","doi":"10.1016/j.cstp.2025.101643","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.cstp.2025.101643","url":null,"abstract":"<div><div>Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) is emerging as a paradigm-shifting solution for urban transportation, yet its research and implementation have been largely confined to developed countries. A significant knowledge gap exists regarding its viability in the unique context of developing nations, which are often characterized by fragmented transport systems, cash-dominant economies, and severe traffic congestion. This study addresses this gap by investigating the factors influencing MaaS adoption willingness among university students in Hanoi, Vietnam, a city that epitomizes these challenges. We frame our analysis through a “cash, code, and congestion” lens to dissect the structural and behavioral barriers to adoption. Employing a survey-based methodology with 372 student respondents, this research utilizes Classification and Regression Trees (CART) to develop predictive models for two distinct user segments: private vehicle users and public/shared transport users. The models identify the key determinants of adoption and reveal the detailed decision-making profiles of each group. Our findings reveal a strong latent demand for MaaS, but uncover fundamentally divergent adoption logics between the two segments. For private vehicle users, adoption is primarily driven by their existing digital habits with ride-hailing apps, with financial considerations acting as a secondary factor. Conversely, for public/shared transport users, the practical utility of their daily journey, particularly commute distance, is the most critical predictor. The results underscore that a one-size-fits-all MaaS strategy is unviable. As a conclusion, this study provides empirical evidence for segment-specific pathways to MaaS adoption in a developing country context. We propose that successful MaaS implementation in a Vietnamese context such as Hanoi requires targeted value propositions: focusing on cost-efficiency and superior convenience to attract private users, while emphasizing operational reliability and functional optimization for public transport users. These strategies must be coupled with systemic solutions to overcome the “cash, code, and congestion” barriers, ultimately positioning MaaS as a key enabler of sustainable urban mobility.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46989,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies on Transport Policy","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 101643"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145520985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using pre-pandemic trip data from a major SE operator and spatial analysis, we analyzed travel flows, user characteristics, and built environment factors influencing SE use. Results show that 53 % of morning commuting trips employ SEs as the primary mode of transport, while the remainder function as first-/last-mile connections, mainly among centrally located residents or those transferring to public transport for longer commutes. The average trip distance is 2.3 km. SE use is most common among adults aged 19–45 and students and is not positively associated with higher income. Greater population density and mixed areas with commercial, industrial, and public service buildings correspond with higher SE usage, whereas longer distance from the city center reduces SE uptake. In peripheral areas with limited public transport and within approximately 3 km buffer of stations, SEs complement public transport.

The availability of sustainable fuels is assessed for the global market. Using four distinct scenarios, combining two dimensions of high/low economic and demographic growth and fast / delayed climate transitions, the study models future air travel demand, aircraft movements at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, energy requirements, and resulting CO₂ emissions. The modeling is conducted using the AEOLUS model, which relies on population and economic growth, alongside the costs of flying, to determine travel demand using, among other, income and price elasticities. The analysis reveals that in high-growth scenarios, unconstrained demand could lead to a doubling of aircraft movements to approximately 1 million per year at Schiphol by 2060. However, the current flight cap of 500,000 movements at Schiphol represents the most significant limiting factor, which would be reached before 2030 in these scenarios. This scarcity incentivizes airlines to deploy larger aircraft, allowing passenger numbers to increase even after the flight limit is met. All scenarios project a sharp decline in CO₂ emissions after 2030, driven by mandated blending of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) and efficiency gains. Consequently, a decades-long trend of falling airfares is expected to reverse, with ticket prices projected to rise across all scenarios due to higher fuel and carbon costs, compounded by capacity scarcity in high-growth scenarios.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46989,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies on Transport Policy","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 101717"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146037379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
