Factors, affecting the usage intensity of public transportation system in Lithuania

Hello,

I am Olga Krutova and I am doing a research about urban public transport usage in Lithuania. Your answers are extremely important in order to define why people are using or not using public transport, what are reasons and how it could be improved.

So I am asking to carefully read the questions and answer them from your own perspective. It will take you around 10 minutes. Survey is completely anonymous. Results of the survey will be used for my master thesis.

Thank you in advance!
