Diverging mobility situations in Greater Mexico City: Exploring the factors behind the mobility situations of public transport commuters
研究分析了大墨西哥城公共交通通勤者的出行状况,发现社会经济特征对出行状况影响最大,其次是土地利用和交通系统可用性,表明减少通勤差距需同时关注交通政策、社会经济不平等和城市结构。
This article investigates the factors behind the likelihood of experiencing a specific type of mobility situation. The case of commuting by public transport in Greater Mexico City is analysed. A one-way ANOVA with post-hoc procedures and three multinomial logistic regression models are used to assess the extent to which transport-, land use- or socio-economic-related variables influence the likelihood of experiencing a specific mobility situation. The results show that the mobility situations of workers are primarily influenced by the socio-economic characteristics of commuters, followed by land-use patterns and the availability of transport systems, respectively. This means that in addition to transport-related policies, reducing commuting disparities in urban regions will require policies able to reduce socio-economic inequalities and influence the urban structure.
