We study the difference in satisfaction levels for work and school trips of consonant travellers and dissonant travellers. The research uses a large-scale (N = 1,865) travel survey administered in Montreal, Canada. A binary logistic regression model reveals that both consonant and dissonant commuters have a high probability of satisfaction with their commute, except for dissonant car users. We find that consonant pedestrians have the highest probability of satisfaction when compared to all other groups, and that dissonant car users have the lowest probability of satisfaction. We further investigate the reasons preventing the use of preferred modes for dissonant car and transit users. Findings from this research help inform researchers and practitioners aiming to make sustainable mode choices the preferred one among travellers. date: 2024-02 date_type: published publisher: PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.2024.104053 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2254698 doi: 10.1016/j.trd.2024.104053 lyricists_name: De Vos, Jonas lyricists_id: JDEVO07 actors_name: Kalinowski, Damian actors_id: DKALI47 actors_role: owner funding_acknowledgements: [Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)]; CIHR CPG-170602 [Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Collaborative Health Research Projects (CHRP) Program]; NSERC CHRPJ 549576-20 [Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Collaborative Health Research Projects (CHRP) Program]; CPG-170602 X- 253156 [NSERC discovery grant]; NSERC RGPIN-2023-03852 full_text_status: public publication: Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment volume: 127 article_number: 104053 pages: 12 issn: 1361-9209 citation: Negm, Hisham; De Vos, Jonas; El-Geneidy, Ahmed; (2024) Does it matter if you like it? exploring the relationship between travel mode choice, preference, and satisfaction.
