Digitalization of the Algerian Transportation Sector

Abstract

This research endeavors to shed light on the pivotal significance of advancing the public transport sector in Algeria, emphasizing the urgent need for a thorough examination of the factors influencing the integration of electronic payment systems. This research scrutinizes the determinants influencing the adoption of the Hafilati application-an electronic payment and bus tracking system introduced by the Urban and Semi-Urban Transport public institution in Tiaret. Employing the Technology Acceptance Model and structural equation modelling, the study investigates the attitudes and behaviors of 296 customers regarding the adoption of these services. The results highlight a robust correlation between perceived benefits and the intention of customers to use the services. Conversely, perceived risks exhibit a negative impact on both perceived benefits and the ease of use. This examination significantly advances our understanding of the pivotal factors shaping the adoption of digital technologies within the transport sector. It sheds light on crucial considerations for stakeholders and policymakers, providing valuable insights into enhancing the acceptance and utilization of such technological innovations in urban and semi-urban transportation settings.
