The commuter’s routine is characterised by a series of discomforts and inconveniences, which in the long term can have a negative impact on health and the quality of life. To-date, particular attention has been devoted to the objective stressors associated with commuting (distance travelled, journey time); nevertheless, the crucial role played by subjective stressors, which depend on how the commuter perceives his/her condition, is undeniable.

The analysis of urban travellers’ latent preferences to explain their mode choice behaviour
