Abstract

This paper presents an insightful journey into understanding how travellers in the Northeast England perceive and interact with both conventional and emerging automated bus services. Employing a comprehensive methodology, our research scrutinizes data collected from 417 regional respondents via online questionnaires, integrating a blend of quantitative, qualitative, and spatial data points. This approach not only uncovers nuanced attitudes towards public transportation but also sheds light on the potential implications and acceptance of automated bus (AB) services, a fundamental element in shaping the future of urban mobility. The narrative aimed at (i) identifying present socio-demographic clusters and their travel behaviour, (ii) analysing perceptions regarding public transport with an emphasis on bus services, (iii) discovering attitudes towards AB systems and (iv) establishing the likelihood of a travel shift towards ABs.
