The assumptions of regression analysis were not met
for the variable overall destination satisfaction and the
measures of satisfaction with the three separate modes of
public transport (bus, tram and train). This was due to
the limited number of valid cases and moderate correlations
between the predictor variables. However, calculation
of the R2 values indicated that 35% of the variability in
overall destination satisfaction can be explained by satisfaction
with the train, whereas satisfaction with tram and
bus explain 29% and 17% respectively of the variability in
overall destination satisfaction. It is notable that, whilst
satisfaction with the train explained the highest percent
of the variability in overall destination satisfaction of the
three modes, it was the mode with which respondents were,
on average, least satisfied ðx ¼ 4:58;s ¼ 1:60Þ and was
the least likely to be used on future visits to the city
ðx ¼ 5:31;s ¼ 1:42Þ.
