    This study used an extended version of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) to predict the travel intention of car drivers in Libya with regard to using the new low-cost carriers (LCC). In order to understand the willingness of travellers to accept the LCC in Libya and its antecedents, this study has added three constructs to the original TPB model, namely novelty seeking, trust, and external influences. The respondents in this study are 338 car drivers in Libya. The results of this study indicate that attitude towards LCC, perceived behavioural control, and subjective norm all have positive effects on the behavioural intention of taking LCC. Furthermore, novelty seeking and trust have indirect positive effects on behavioural intention. Trust, on the other hand, has an indirect positive influence on the three antecedents of intention in accepting LCC in Libya. Results also revealed that external influence (i.e. advertising campaigns by the media) has a significant indirect influence on car users’ intention to accept the new LCC via subjective norm and perceived behavioural control, and indirect influence on the behaviour intention of car users via novelty seeking with regard to attitude towards LCC and trust to perceived behavioural control.

    The Libyan bus transport system plays a pivotal role in the movement of commuters across the country, including contributing to the reduction of traffic congestion and accident. The public bus system appears to provide safe, comfortable and cost-effective transportation compared to some of the alternative means. However, the public bus industry has experienced a steady decline since the 1990s. Therefore, there is potential to better serve the needs of its consumers. To this end, paying attention to service quality could prove useful in making this mode of travel the preferred choice to local as well as international travelers. Therefore, this paper aims to evaluate service quality in the public bus transport system and seeks to measure levels of service quality using Importance-Satisfaction Analysis (ISA). This study, has investigated the customer satisfaction with the service delivery of the public bus transportation of passenger. The questionnaire was personally administered to th...

    يلعب نظام النقل بالحافلات في ليبيا دورا محوريا في حركة المسافرين عبر البلاد ، بما في ذلك المساهمة في الحد من الازدحام المروري والحوادث الناتجة من زيادة استخدام السيارات الخاصة. في دولة ليبيا، شهد قطاع النقل بالحافلات العامة انخفاضا مطردا منذ 1990. لذلك، تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى رصد الوضع الراهن وتحديد الأسباب التي أدت إلى هذا الانخفاض؛ بهدف تمكين المعنيين بقطاع النقل والمواصلات من فهم أبعاد المشكلة للتمكن من معالجتها بشكل دائم ومستمر لزيادة استخدام النقل العام وتقليل الاعتماد على استخدام وسائل النقل الخاصة. تحقيقا لهذه الغاية ، قد يكون الاهتمام بتلبية احتياجات مستخدمي الحافلات وتحسين جودة الخدمة مفيدا في جعل هذه الوسيلة الخيار المفضل لذى المسافرين في ليبيا. لذلك، تهدف هذه الورقة إلى تقييم جودة الخدمة في نظام النقل العام بالحافلة وتسعى إلى قياس مستويات جودة الخدمة باستخدام طريقة تحليل الأهمية و الرضا(ISA). تم توزيع الاستبيان على ركاب الحافلات في بعض المدن الكبرى في ليبيا حيث تم استخدام طريقة أخذ العينات الطبقية لهذا البحث وكانت العينة النهائية لهذا البحث من 276 مشاركا. تشير النتائج إلى أ...

    In the planning point of view, it is essential to have mode choice, due to the massive amount of incurred in transportation systems. The intercity travellers in Libya have distinct features, as against travellers from other countries, which includes cultural and socioeconomic factors. Consequently, the goal of this study is to recognize the behavior of intercity travel using disaggregate models, for projecting the demand of nation-level intercity travel in Libya. Multinomial Logit Model for all the intercity trips has been formulated to examine the national-level intercity transportation in Libya. The Multinomial logit model was calibrated using nationwide revealed preferences (RP) and stated preferences (SP) survey. The model was developed for deference purpose of intercity trips (work, social and recreational). The variables of the model have been predicted based on maximum likelihood method. The data needed for model development were obtained from all major intercity corridors in...

    Libya is one of the developing countries that faces increasing mobility in transportation. Increased traffic congestion and road accidents on intercity highways, along with the resulting heavy death toll and economic cost, are the negative effects of increasing mobility The time is ripe for a policy that will improve intercity highways. One possible solution to the problem is including road pricing policy in transportation policies. However, the government is concerned about this road pricing policy. Therefore, this research aims to contribute more details by investigating drivers’ behavior on intercity route choicesto better understand and explore driver responsiveness and attitudes toward road pricing. In addition, this study aims to determine the suitability of the proposed toll charges and to encourage use of the proposed coastal highways to reduce intercity road congestion, improve road safety, and hence prevent road accidents in Libya. This paper adopts a discrete choice model...

    Estimation of disaggregate mode choice models to estimate the ridership share on a proposed new (or improved) intercity travel service and to identify the modes from which existing intercity travelers will be diverted to the new or upgraded service constitutes a critical part of evaluating alternative travel service proposals to alleviate intercity travel congestion. In Libya, people heavily relies on private cars for intercity trips increased traffic congestion and road accidents on intercity highways having been the negative impacts. ...
