Highlights ► Those who preferred collective transportation are more worried than the others. ► Associations between transport preferences and risk perception are insignificant. ► Transport mode use and preferences are not related to risk perception and worry.
Abstract The main aim of the present study was to compare risk perception among Norwegians (n =512) living in the region of Oslo. This study was part of an ERANET 13 project entitled PETRIS, Perception of transport risk in France and Norway. The data collection was carried out in January 2011. The response rate was 51 percent. The results showed that respondents, divided in two groups according to their transport mode preferences, assessed differently risk perception in public and private transportation. Respondents who preferred collective transportation assessed the probability of experiencing criminality in collective transport modes as higher than those who preferred private modes. They were also more worried of experiencing accidents, criminality, and terror attacks in collective transportation. The relationship between transport mode preferences and use, risk perception and worry are discussed.
