Transport habits and preferences of generations - Does it matter, regarding the state of the art?

Abstract

Every single day we spend one hour, on average, with travelling and this value has not changed for decades. According to the Hungarian timescale statistics, approximately one hour per day, on average, has been spent on travelling for the last 30 years. The world, however, has changed a lot in 30 years and one the best examples for this is the quick sequence of generations. Currently, there are at least four generations at the same time. The current study briefly introduces each generation, then discusses the differences and preferences in the travelling habits of generations who are present in the labor market. The aim of this study is to give a structured preliminary research plan, based on the state of the art. Therefore, the problems of further empirical research is reasoned and a well-structured research plan can be specified. Later, this conceptual model helps us to study and understand travel habits and preferences of various generations.
