Increasing the Quality of Service (QoS) of Public Transport (PT), in order to attract more users, is one of the goals of transport companies and urban policy-makers. A continuous monitoring of data on users’ satisfaction is desirable, but most of the time such process is costly. Finding correlations between PT accessibility, user satisfaction and PT ridership might be the key to prioritize where and how service quality improvements have to be put in place. The aim of this paper is to investigate the correlation among PT use, user satisfaction and PT accessibility using a spatial and statistical approach to find useful and simple indicators for sustainable mobility planning. The case study is Catania, a medium-sized city located in southern Italy, with a focus on the mobility of University students. In this respect, students experienced fare-free PT from 2018 to 2020 as one of the main results of collaboration between the University and the two urban PT operators, providing free access to bus and metro transport services in the city. Student satisfaction and relevant data regarding their mobility behavior were constantly monitored via a web survey: the analysis conducted in this study is based on a database of about 4000 responses collected between 2018 and 2019. Spatial and statistical correlations between user satisfaction, transit ridership and accessibility will provide useful information for a correct planning and management of PT networks by transport companies, highlighting diverse insights for different PT options.

将公共交通用户满意度与服务可及性联系起来,以实现可持续的出行计划

为了吸引更多的用户,提高公共交通(PT)的服务质量(QoS)是交通公司和城市决策者的目标之一。希望对用户满意度的数据进行连续监控,但是在大多数情况下,这种过程的成本很高。找到PT的可访问性,用户满意度和PT乘坐率之间的相关性可能是确定必须在何处以及如何改进服务质量的优先级的关键。本文的目的是使用空间和统计方法来研究PT使用,用户满意度和PT可达性之间的相关性,以找到有用且简单的可持续交通规划指标。案例研究是卡塔尼亚(Catania),这是一个位于意大利南部的中型城市,重点关注大学生的流动性。在这方面,学生们在2018年至2020年期间体验了无价PT,这是大学与两家城市PT运营商之间合作的主要成果之一,使学生可以免费使用该市的公交和地铁交通服务。通过网络调查不断监测学生的满意度和有关其流动性行为的相关数据:本研究进行的分析基于一个数据库,该数据库收集了2018年至2019年之间收集的大约4000份响应。将为运输公司正确规划和管理PT网络提供有用的信息,强调针对不同PT选项的不同见解。提供免费使用城市公交车和地铁的服务。通过网络调查不断监测学生的满意度和有关其流动性行为的相关数据:本研究进行的分析基于一个数据库,该数据库收集了2018年至2019年之间收集的大约4000份响应。将为运输公司正确规划和管理PT网络提供有用的信息,强调针对不同PT选项的不同见解。提供免费使用城市公交车和地铁的服务。通过网络调查不断监测学生的满意度和有关其流动性行为的相关数据:本研究进行的分析基于一个数据库,该数据库收集了2018年至2019年之间收集的大约4000份响应。将为运输公司正确规划和管理PT网络提供有用的信息,强调针对不同PT选项的不同见解。
