Abstract
Over the past decades studies on travel mode choice have evolved from studies making use of objective utility theories to studies incorporating more subjective variables such as habits and attitudes. Recently, the way people perceive their trip with the chosen travel mode has been analyzed with transportation-oriented scales of subjective well-being, i.e., the satisfaction with travel scale. However, studies analyzing the link between travel mode choice (i.e., decision utility) and travel satisfaction (i.e., experienced utility) have been lacking so far. In this paper we will focus on the relation between travel mode choice and travel satisfaction (of leisure trips) with travel-related attitudes and the built environment as explanatory variables of respondents in urban and suburban neighborhoods in the city of Ghent, Belgium. The built environment and travel-related attitudes affect both the travel mode choice and travel satisfaction, in particular the evaluation of the trip made, which in turn seems to influence future mode choices.
