dc.description.abstract | Over the past decade the Irish government has invested intensively in a large national
motorway network. One of the side effects of this investment has been that
inter-city
travel is now
considerably
cheaper and quicker by car compared
any other mode.
The
main objective of this research is to identify and examine the barriers to sustainable
inter-city transport in Ireland. The majority of sustainable transport research takes
place in an urban context with very little research has focused on understanding the
factors to encourage alternative modes on inter-city trips.
A stated preference study
was conducted to
determine what are the factors that impact upon
individuals’
mode
choice when conducting an inter-city trip.
The results of this paper demonstrate that
there are several factors that impact upon individuals’ mode choice decisions when
undertaking an inter-city trip. The main factor that was found to impact upon mode
choice was the requirement to have a car in the destination city. | en |
