substantial amount of ownership, with a substantial part of the population
having several vehicles. One of the primary reasons for using cars is to
travel while a large portion even using them to relax. Transport services
for public use are not as well-used due to the perception of
inconvenience. The price is still the main aspect in the decision-making

impact on the environment are also factors, particularly for certain
demographic groups. Recognizing these patterns will help companies and
politicians adapt their strategies to better accommodate the desires and
