Shared e-scooters are mostly used within or close to city centers and they are being seen as a tool for promoting intermodality while often they cover gaps of public transport networks. This study focuses on university students, since they constitute a large proportion of the shared e-scooters market share, and examines their willingness to use shared e-scooters for intermodal trips and their attitudes regarding issues of equity and safety. A survey of 594 university students in the city of Thessaloniki was conducted and their responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics and discrete choice model analyses. The results show that as the distance from the city center increases, the levels of satisfaction drop for both the shared e-scooters availability and the quality of public transport services. Students support the opinion that rules should be set so that oblige e-scooter providers to allocate them in a way that the access is possible for the entire population of a city. The results of the discrete choice model analysis suggested that time and cost play a significant role in stated preferences and an intermodal trip including shared e-scooters becomes a preferred option for the students only when the travel time is much shorter (i.e., 20–30 min) comparing to the alternative. Also, transport modes currently used by students, significantly affected their choices. Finally, increased perceived safety of infrastructure and attitudes towards e-scooters increased the probability of preferring the e-scooter alternative. The results of the study pave the way for establishing policies and measures that can enhance the role of shared e-scooters in modern urban mobility systems.

电动滑板车和其他模式出行链:大学生的偏好和态度

共享电动滑板车主要在市中心内或附近使用,它们被视为促进多式联运的工具,同时它们通常弥补公共交通网络的空白。这项研究的重点是大学生,因为他们占共享电动滑板车市场份额的很大一部分,并考察了他们使用共享电动滑板车进行多式联运旅行的意愿以及他们对公平和安全问题的态度。对塞萨洛尼基市 594 名大学生进行了调查,并使用描述性统计和离散选择模型分析对他们的回答进行了分析。结果表明,随着与市中心距离的增加,共享电动滑板车的可用性和公共交通服务质量的满意度都会下降。学生们支持这样一种观点,即应该制定规则,以强制电动滑板车供应商以一种城市全体居民都可以使用的方式分配它们。离散选择模型分析的结果表明,时间和成本在陈述的偏好中起着重要作用,只有当旅行时间短得多(即 20-30 min) 与备选方案相比。此外,学生目前使用的交通方式也极大地影响了他们的选择。最后,基础设施安全感的提高和对电动滑板车的态度增加了更喜欢电动滑板车替代品的可能性。
