Abstract
This study investigates the influence of fellow passenger interactions on travel satisfaction and wellbeing among commuters with disabilities (CWD) in a developing country. Employing qualitative methods such as ethnography and interviews, it explores the challenges CWD faces in public transport. In addition to building on previous studies regarding interaction on public transport, the study introduces the concept of Commuter-to-Commuter interaction. This study unveils the impact of fellow passengers on travel experiences and categorises interactions as positive, neutral, or negative, elucidating key features of this dynamic. Understanding these interactions is pivotal for developing interventions aimed at improving transportation accessibility. Unlike previous studies focusing on religion, race, gender, and age, this research addresses a gap by focusing on disabilities. Enhancing comprehension of inclusion dynamics informs policies for more equitable transportation systems, ultimately contributing to a supportive and accommodating environments for all commuters, including those with disabilities.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution.
We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
