Key Points
Investigate factors influencing the adoption of tailored mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) subscription plans among older adults to inform equitable public transport policies.
Administered a questionnaire survey to elderly individuals in Hong Kong (N=434).
Developed multinomial logit models to evaluate socio-demographic and service attribute factors influencing MaaS plan choices.
Younger elderly individuals, wheelchair users, and individuals with lower monthly expenditures showed a significantly higher likelihood of subscribing to MaaS plans.
Plan uptake was favored most strongly by lower monthly subscription fees and the inclusion of free rides on accessible taxis.
