Transit-oriented development versus car-dependent development: The importance of high frequency transit services and prior investment in transit Open
Urban development in most Global North countries is largely car dependent, enabled and facilitated by mass car ownership, cheap oil and weak planning powers. Although car/auto-dependent development (CADD) is environmentally unsustainable, …

What psychological and socio-demographic factors can influence people’s intention to use ridesharing during the war? A case study in Ukraine Open
Public transport services can be disrupted by natural or human-made crises, such as the recent war in Ukraine. Ridesharing has the potential to be used as an alternative to public transport during such crises. However, peoples’ attitudes a…
