The objective of this workshop was to examine global experiences in the upgrading and professionalisation of these services, and to identify lessons and potential improvement pathways. The main messages that emerged from workshop presentations and deliberations were that: (1) the vast scale of, and dependence upon, the sector needs to be appreciated and embraced; and (2) programmes of action need to be formulated to support and improve the services that are offered. Recommendations for policy included: (1) that informal transport should be explicitly recognised as an enduring mainstream travel mode; (2) that government capacity to engage the sector is developed; (3) that authorities work collaboratively with industry structures; (4) that authorities invest in supporting the sector; and (5) that market entry regulations are enforced. Recommendations for research were directed at contexts where the focus is on: (1) understanding the sector; (2) exploring possible interventions for improvement; and (3) scaling up interventions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"111 ","pages":"Article 101573"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144190109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While these challenges are particularly pronounced in developing countries, similar issues are observed in Europe, where women frequently report negative experiences as users of transport systems. This study investigates whether Mobility as a Service (MaaS) can address these gender-specific concerns by providing safer, more flexible and inclusive transport options. A survey was conducted with Italian respondents to identify women's mobility needs, with a particular focus on security. Basic statistical analysis of the survey results reveals that both women and men acknowledge the security challenges women face while travelling and rate security features to be included in a MaaS application for improving their experiences. Based on the survey results, the study proposes a set of key features for a \"MaaS4Women\" application that could help reduce perceived risks and enhance security. The findings suggest that customizing MaaS features and bundles to meet women's specific needs could be an important step towards improving gender equity in transport.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 101585"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144184589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transport is an essential factor in starting and promoting tourism. Nevertheless, community sustainability is greatly affected by transportation. Sustainability can be considered from different aspects, including environmental, economic, and social aspects. Sustainable tourism can be achieved by providing public transportation to different groups of society, especially vulnerable groups. The aging population is growing, and their long-distance travel demands are increasing. Aside from having more free time, the elderly also need to travel for a variety of reasons. Transportation systems must meet certain requirements in order to attract people with physical and mental disabilities. The purpose of this paper is to examine what factors facilitate long trips for the elderly, what factors must be taken into account by public transportation systems (airplane, bus, and train), and how we can encourage these groups of people to use public transportation systems on long trips. This study is based on a survey of seniors’ travel demands in Kerman, Iran, performed in 2023. The analysis used random forest, multinomial logistic regression, and structural equation modelling. This study indicates that many seniors would like to make longer-distance trips, but need improved services that meet their needs. However, tourism could attract wealthy seniors if special services are provided. The service quality of buses and trains must be improved to be attractive to the elderly who are not wealthy enough, because of equity issues.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 101584"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144178208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many case studies have reported large decreases in patronage, and this has caused serious financial problems for operators. This study uses Taiwan Taoyuan Airport Mass Rapid Transit as the case study to investigate the influence of COVID-19 as a disruptive event. This study investigates COVID-19 impacts from the perspective of changes in key markets for public transport, verifying significance using beta regression. Other than a decrease in patronage, the model results confirmed a significant shift in the target market from tourists using the airport to local residents and in service areas from the international airport to residential areas. The findings of the study can help policymakers reconsider the roles of particular public transport systems in the light of disruptive events. This study suggests that during disruptive events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, policymakers should move beyond simply subsidizing essential public transport services. Instead, they should identify alternative demand sources and leverage the competitive attributes of public transport to maintain and enhance patronage.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 101582"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144177505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ultimately, our study contributes to a better understanding of last-mile delivery intents by providing insightful information to legislators and courier businesses seeking to encourage locker usage. After an online survey was completed in Mumbai, India, a Latent class cluster analysis and structural equation modeling were used to examine the variables influencing parcel locker users' usage. The study is unique in that it looks at three clusters: regular transit users, car owners, and those who own and use two-wheelers to explore the relationship between transportation mode choice and intention to utilize parcel lockers. According to the findings, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived risks, and shopping preference are among the major drivers of behavioral intention to use parcel lockers. Owners of motorcycles and bicycles showed a positive correlation between all parameters and their intention to use parcel lockers, suggesting that ease of access will lead them to utilize this service. The relevance of convenience in locker accessibility was shown by the positive link between perceived usefulness and attitude among regular transit users. Contrary, car owners only indicated a positive correlation with perceived ease of use, indicating a low propensity to use parcel lockers. These results highlight the necessity for urban logistics regulations to adjust to new delivery models like parcel lockers by matching service offerings to various means of transportation and considering locker placement. In cities, these flexible regulations may increase accessibility and encourage creative last-mile solutions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"111 ","pages":"Article 101568"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144147097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
