N2 - Long-distance travel rapidly increased in recent decades. This can be attributed to economic growth, increased car ownership and technological innovations. Improvements in highway, train and airport infrastructure reduced transport costs and times while increasing safety (Arbués et al., 2016). This allowed people to shift to faster modes of transport. At the same time, people’s total daily travel time budget remained relatively constant (for a review on travel time budget studies, see Mokhtarian and Chen, 2004, Ahmed and Stopher, 2014), allowing people to travel further and thus resulting in a rising demand for long-distance travel. Although long-distance trips only represent a small share of all trips, it constitutes a high share of total distance travelled and, as such, contributes significantly to energy consumption and the emission of pollutants (Aamaas et al., 2013).
