Analysis of the attitudes of Gozitan worker commuters regarding travel time and transport options between Gozo and Malta

Abstract

The main objective of this article is to investigate inter-island commuting behaviour and travel time in island states. It is specifically aimed at Gozitan commuters who travel regularly between Gozo and Malta. By understanding the present state of affairs and examining the administration of the existing transport modes one can perceive some practicable propositions to improve the commute between the island of Gozo and Malta and connectivity between the two islands. Commuting, though essential, has a cost in terms of time and money, and to determine the best mode of travel various factors have to be considered including the purpose and distance of the trip, perceived comfort, customer care, service quality, travel time and safety.
