| Abstract: | Travel time studies are important for transport geographers, especially on island archipelagos. Small islands like Gozo depend on outside links for their infrastructure. My (Marthese Cini) research study focused on Gozitan commuters working in Malta and the recent discussions on ‘connecting’ the islands. Specifically, I studied whether a ferry or a tunnel would be more suitable for their needs. Travelling is central to our lives. It’s needed to work, shop, and visit friends or family. Travel is commonly seen as a burden that takes time and money. People’s travelling behaviour is important to consider. It can help identify and understand which mode of transport commuters use the most and why, as well as the reasons behind certain destination choices. |
