Abstract [en]

This study compares transportation preferences among students and staff from two different universities: KTH in Stockholm and ITBA in Buenos Aires. The aim was to identify the factors influencing transportation decisions and their impact on perceptions regarding its usage. A survey was conducted at both universities to gain insights from participants and analyze the collected information, aiming to propose solutions that enhance the quality and sustainability of transportation. This work presents a novel analysis by comparing two cities with seemingly different characteristics in terms of transportation and urban development, with an emphasis on sustainability. The results obtained are positive as potential improvements in both systems could be observed. Moreover, the results have generated ideas to improve the adoption of green and sustainable transportation, without compromising the quality of existing transportation for members of these educational institutions. The importance of environmental awareness and its positive impact on quality of life and urban mobility is highlighted.
