Public willingness to pay (WTP) experiments have been introduced to value difficult to monetize policy impacts. This paper investigates how citizens of the Transport Authority Amsterdam value nine social impacts of transport policies through five Public WTP discrete choice experiments. In the experiments, respondents were asked to choose between transport policies, trading of social impacts against a uniform tax increase. We show that participants particularly value that people can reach key facilities within 15 min and assigned a relatively low value to preventing delays. This suggests that citizens prioritize accessibility over mobility. We also observe that participants assign a significant value to all the nine social impacts and identify Public WTP metrics for all the impacts.

However, due to differences in perception among users, a one-size-fits-all policy may not address riders’ diverse needs effectively. In this study, we addressed heterogeneity in how service quality factors influence satisfaction and future use among transit users, using market segmentation approach and survey data collected from 10,547 transit riders in Chicago in 2022. First, we applied a multi-group analysis to assess the statistical significance of heterogeneity in the factors influencing transit satisfaction and loyalty. Subsequently, to translate heterogeneity into actionable policies, we conducted Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA). Findings indicate that individuals with higher incomes and higher education prioritize cleanliness and reliability. For female passengers, enhancing safety measures is crucial, while riders with disabilities would benefit significantly from improvements in service comfort. Furthermore, intersectional analysis demonstrates that accounting for overlapping socio-demographic characteristics reveals a more accurate pattern of heterogeneity than one-dimensional analysis. The findings help transit agencies to customize their services to user-specific needs and encourage transit ridership.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 101608"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144679025","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}

Women feel more unsafe than men. Despite this, most infrastructure and transport services have historically ignored the differing needs of men and women. However, it is important to study gender differences for effective transport planning and to provide a safe system that is not a disadvantage for any group of people. This study aims to analyse the factors associated with the perception of unsafety and how it impacts the choice of public transport modes. It focuses on gender differences, using Santiago, Chile, as a case study. Mode choice data was collected through a revealed preferences survey, with which a hybrid discrete choice model was estimated, incorporating a latent variable termed “unease,” combining unsafety and discomfort elements. Results show that women, especially younger ones, experience a higher perception of unsafety and discomfort, which intensifies when they live in a district with high rates of assault. As a result, people with a greater perception of unease tend to prefer the subway, either exclusively or in combination with the bus, instead of using only the bus. Additionally, it was observed that occasional users are more sensitive to bus waiting times. The study highlights the need for public policies and suggests measures to address these concerns to promote safer, more sustainable, and equitable mobility.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 101609"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144670726","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}

This increase in demand challenges traditional delivery, with some parcels becoming disproportionately costly to deliver to their destinations. To address this, we introduce a cost-based outlier parcel selection mechanism that identifies parcels with a high negative impact on the marginal delivery costs. These outlier parcels are then eliminated from their tours and outsourced to a crowdshipping market, where individuals combine the delivery task with their already planned trips. We use unique data on delivery tours of six service providers for the province of South Holland in the Netherlands. The cost-based decision rule for identifying outlier parcels results in a low proportion of outsourcing to the crowdshipping market compared to earlier literature. We identify only about 1 % of the total parcel demand as outliers across all carriers combined. Of these outlier parcels, the proportion selected for crowdshipping based on their cost efficiency ranges from 42.78 % to 3 %, depending on the scenario. While crowdshipping provides a viable solution for handling a small portion of last-mile deliveries, its environmental and economic sustainability is restricted by factors such as compensation rates and the delivery mode used. This study demonstrates that outsourcing high-cost outlier parcels to crowdshipping can be cost-efficient and reduce emissions of last-mile logistics companies; however, the proportion of these parcels is very small, limiting the overall impact on sustainability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 101607"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144653761","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}

In response, some cities have increasingly departed from the conventional infrastructure-heavy BRT design approach towards lighter, more incremental deployment concepts, in an effort to better match local realities and constraints. This paper aims to describe this shift and put it into the context of a continuum of BRT deployment approaches. A literature review presents clarifying terminology and an overview of recent BRT system design in SSA cities. We then describe a phased implementation approach evolving in South African cities that focus on improving existing services gradually towards the final BRT design.
