Sumario:An alternative to reduce the harmful consequences of car use is the choice of public transport (PT). This requires infrastructural as well as behavioural changes. For this reason, it is necessary to know which motivations determine the choice of each transport mode. The aim of this study was to analyze which are the psychological factors that better explain car use and PT use. A systematic review of the literature of the past 11 years was performed, obtaining 21 datasets. Results indicated that intentional processes are the more suitable to explain the choice of car and PT. Although its explanatory power usually increases when automatic and normative processes are included in the model. However, the automatic processes would be more important for car use than for PT use. Results are discussed and guidelines for future research are offered.
