This study employs a latent segmentation approach to investigate the commuting market, with focus on the usage of public transit. The factor–cluster analysis technique is used to systematically deal with multi-dimensional psychological statements, and then segment the whole sample into homogenous groups. A six-cluster solution is arrived, each with distinct combinations of latent factors, including attitude, perception, habit, and intention to use public transit. On account of the unique psychological profile of each segment, related measures and strategies are proposed to promote the choice of public transit for each sub-segment. The results demonstrate that individuals within different segments must be treated in different ways since their behavior are motivated by different factors.
