Factors influencing students’ decisions about choosing green public transportation in Ho Chi Minh City

Abstract

This research discovers the motivation behind the students’ decisions to use green public transportation in Vietnam by surveying over 200 university students in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). The results revealed that the convenience and comfortability of services mainly influence students in HCMC. The fact that using public transportation helps save cost and time and environmental awareness also affects students’ choices but not significantly. Based on these factors, authorities can have more appropriate strategies to attract more young people to choose green public transportation, which is a good solution for environmental issues.
