Determinants of train use and transport disadvantage in Spanish non-central municipalities.
Keywords:
Transportations disadvantages, Train use, Car use, SuburbsAbstract
As global temperatures rise, the need to reduce car use for daily commutes becomes increasingly urgent. This study explores the potential of rail as a sustainable alternative, using data from the survey Essential Characteristics of the Population and Housing by the Spanish National Statistics Institute. While the study finds an increase in both train and car use in suburban areas, it also highlights that many of the factors influencing train choice are linked to transportation disadvantages. This raises concerns about the possibility of promoting new forms of social exclusion through sustainable transport policies.
