A Critical Review of New Mobility Services for Urban Transport (2016, background): “In a field experiment with over hundreds of participants, Thøgersen (2009) found the provision of a free monthly travel card led to a doubling of the use of public transportation in the experiment group and the positive effect remained half a year after the intervention.”
Soft Transport Policy Measures: Gaps in Knowledge (2011, background): “Some research has failed to show lasting effects of a free monthly public transport ticket offered to frequent car users (Fujii and Kitamura 2003; Thøgersen 2009; Thøgersen and Møller 2008) or increased car use costs (Jakobsson, Fujii, and Gärling 2002).”
Sustainability Labels on Food Products: Consumer Motivation, Understanding and Use (2014, background): “…the analysis of attempts to influence human behaviour by information, but can also be applied to the analysis of effects of non-informational measures on human behaviour (see Thøgersen, 2009, for a recent example of a non-information measure aimed at promoting environmentally friendly behaviour).”
From attitude to satisfaction: introducing the travel mode choice cycle (2021, unknown): “…found that o ﬀ ering temporary free public transport passes to habitual car users increases the frequency of public transport use (especially during, but also after the treatment period), because it partly breaks car habits (Abou-Zeid & Ben-Akiva, 2012; Fujii & Kitamura, 2003; Thøgersen, 2009).”
Old Habits Die Hard (2015, background): “…whilst providing information or incentives has led to behaviour change in some studies (Bamberg, Ajzen & Schmidt, 2003; Kearney and De Young, 1996; Thøgersen, 2009), it is probably fair to say the majority of interventions have been largely unsuccessful in encouraging healthier or more…”
Summary for Policymakers (2022, unknown): “Promotional offers can be an effective means to break bad habits (Thøgersen 2009).”
