Carbon Lock-In: Types, Causes, and Policy Implications (2016, unknown): “E i r ov i e d a d fr on / 19”
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).”
Travel satisfaction revisited : on the pivotal role of travel satisfaction in conceptualizing a travel behavior process (2017, background): “A disruption of a stable context could be realised by measures such as temporary changes in the road network (e.g., Fujii et al., 2001), and providing habitual car drivers with a free bus ticket for a certain period of time (Abou-Zeid et al., 2012; Fujii and Kitamura, 2003).”
Interventions to Break and Create Consumer Habits (2006, background): “…in evaluating the success of such downstreamplus-context-change interventions, though there is good reason to believe that they will be more successful at altering everyday lifestyle habits than downstream interventions alone (e.g., simply providing a free bus pass; see Fujii and Kitamura 2003).”
Travel information as an instrument to change cardrivers’ travel choices: a literature review (2006, background): “It has recently been widely acknowledged (e.g. Lyons, 2001; Fujii et al., 2001; Fujii and Kitamura, 2003; Fujii and Gärling, 2003; Schlich and Axhausen, 2003; Bogers et al., 2005) that many travel choices are made out of habit: the same alternative is chosen repeatedly, without any conscious…”
Introduction: Habitual travel choice (2003, background): “Whereas in the Garvill et al. (2003) study no incentives were offered, only incentives were in fact provided in Fujii and Kitamura (2003) .”
The influence of residential dissonance on travel behavior (2012, unknown): “Offering free public transit on selected days or implementing temporary road pricing, for instance, may trigger lasting behavioral changes of habitual car drivers to public transit use, walking or bicycling (Fujii and Kitamura, 2003).”
Travel and cognitive dissonance (2020, background): “AbouZeid et al. (2012) and Fujii and Kitamura (2003) found improved attitudes towards public transport of habitual car users switching to public transport (after receiving a temporary free public transport pass).”
Self-identity threat and resistance to change: Evidence from regular travel behaviour (2012, background): “Fujii and Kitamura (2003) showed that when drivers were encouraged to take a bus for a period of time, they were more likely to travel by bus development of a new or modified identity.”
Do satisfying walking and cycling trips result in more future trips with active travel modes? An exploratory study (2019, background): “More recent studies found that a mode shift from car to public transport was accompanied by improved attitudes towards public transport (Abou-Zeid, Witter, Bierlaire, Kaufmann, & Ben-Akiva, 2012; Fujii & Kitamura, 2003; Fujii, G€arling, & Kitamura, 2001).”
