Title
Identification and assessment of key determinants of public transportation behavioural intention of local citizen and tourists in Mauritius predicting transportation behaviours and its policy implications
The present study proposes to focus on the psychological factors that affect individuals’ behavioural intentions with regards to the use of public transports. An integrated model is developed based an exploratory research and by taking into account existing theories such as the theory of planned behaviour. Determinants such as fares, quality of service and income identified and empirically tested by Paulley et al. (2006) shall also be included. A multi-dimensional approach will be used to conceptualise and operationalise transport service quality. Transport service quality dimensions include safety on board, safety at stations, travel time, number of departures and number of seats (Pedersen et al., 2011). The study furthermore explores the relationships between the various determinants of public transport behavioural intentions and their effect on behavioural intentions of public transport users with the aim of reducing private vehicle use and encouraging the use of public transport.
