[OP08] Public attitude towards sustainable transport
Impacts

Key message
Neutral

The car remains the primary mode of transportation, regardless of the distance or purpose of the trip, while the use of public transport does not show a significant increase. The main barriers to using public transport are poor accessibility, inadequate timetables, a lack of connections, and difficult access. Time inefficiency is also a significant issue. However, there are reasons for optimism, as households are increasingly open to using public transport and car-sharing.

Note:

The analysis of the results must take into account that in 2019 and 2022 the respondents could only choose one option, whereas in past surveys (2010-2017) they could choose several options at a time.

Note:

When analyzing the results, we need to consider that in 2019, respondents could only choose one mode of transportation, while in previous measurements (2010-2017), and they could select multiple options simultaneously.
