Abstract
The world today is in the industrial 4.0 with the fast pace of technology development. This urbanization and the high density of the population are paralleled by environmental issues such as high levels of CO2 emissions, plastic waste, or climate change fr om urban areas. Transport is a crucial actor as a means of advancing socioeconomic development. Moreover, it contributes to the overall sustainability strategy by encouraging public transportation as part of sustainable mobility. Subways, buses, and trains have all been improved to make them more efficient and accessible as part of the city's numerous initiatives to promote the use of public transportation. Hungary's capital, Budapest, is undergoing rapid urbanization while playing a significant geopolitica l role in fostering convenient transit for locals and tourists. Budapest is located in central Europe and acts as a bridge linking Western and Eastern Europe. Hence, Budapest attracts a high concentration of mobility. Budapest’s municipal and local bodies outlined their plan for sustainable urban mobility in 2016 with the vision of 2030. This plan focuses on people residing or visiting the city and increasing public transport usage. It is expected that by lowering pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions, re ducing congestion, and enhancing transit options, these efforts will enhance the quality of life for locals. Furthermore, Budapest's dedication to efficient transportation serves as a strong global example of how cities can improve public transportation wh ile minimizing negative environmental effects . This study collected data through focus groups interview method, the selected students discussed the different drivers that affect their mobility. This study sheds light on the city's sustainable mobility and some of the factors that persuade and discourage students from using public transport. Based on the perspective of students residing in Budapest, this study identif ied some of the factors that may accelerate the city's sustainable mobility. Through a nalysi ng the drivers affecting urban mobility, a wider picture of Budapest’s sustainable mobility was concluded.
