Investment in public transport projects in cities: What do citizens think about it? Calvo Poyo, Francisco Javier Ferri García, Ramón Fernández Medina, Javier Citizens Infraestructures Transport In recent years, important public transport infrastructures projects have been carried out in Andalusia (Spain), some of them having an important impact on life in the metropolitan areas. Nevertheless, no studies have been done to know the citizens’ opinion concerning these projects. This article presents an analysis about the citizens’ perception on this matter, based on a 2015 survey with a sample of 1,200 individuals living in the Andalusian capital cities. Citizens’ perceptions about public transport infrastructures are analyzed, based on citizens’ mobility preferences, on their opinion about transport infrastructures’ social impact and about their adequation to the city they live in. Results indicate that people living in cities which already have underground have a larger preference for underground means of transport than those who live in cities that only have transit on surface. In addition, it is proved that light rail is the most unpopular transport mode among citizens. 2016-06-15T11:29:59Z 2016-06-15T11:29:59Z 2016 conference output Calvo Poyo, F.J.; Ferri García, R.; Fernández Medina, J.
