Resumen : | . Conventional methods to understand urban transportation mode choice primarily revolve around assessing the relation costs/benefts among the diferent mobility alternatives. However, emerging research has emphasized the signifcance of comprehending intricate social processes that shape decision-making in urban mobility. This study delves into the impact of social networks on aggregated travel behavior, using a comprehensive dataset encompassing multiple data sources such as Twitter/X messages, bicycle sharing system (BSS) and trafc counts, weather and socio-demographic information. Focusing specifcally on the city of Madrid, Spain, the dataset covers an extensive period, capturing daily data from 2018 to 2021. To gain deeper insights into the underlying infuences, a combination of panel regression models and a topic modeling approach were employed for analysis. The study’s fndings highlight the signifcant impact of social media communication on transportation behavior, revealing a positive correlation between higher social media message volume and increased usage of public and sustainable transportation options like subways and BSS, while private car usage decreased. Although there is message salience, i.e., a sudden surge in tweet numbers leads to a temporary shift in behavior, the fndings suggest that municipalities can efectively infuence transportation behavior by strategically communicating messages related to sustainable transportation through social networks |
