One benefit of this investment is that intercity travel has become considerably cheaper and quicker by car than by any other mode. The main objective of this research was to identify and examine the barriers to sustainable intercity transportation in Ireland. The majority of sustainable transportation research has occurred in an urban context; little research has focused on understanding the factors that encourage alternative modes for intercity trips. A stated preference study was conducted to determine which factors affect individuals’ mode choice for an intercity trip. The results of this paper demonstrated that several factors affected individuals’ mode choice for an intercity trip; the main factor was the requirement to have a car in the destination city.
