description 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.

Una alternativa para reducir las consecuencias nocivas del uso del automóvil es la elección del transporte público (TP). Ello requiere cambios en la infraestructura y en el comportamiento de las  personas. Por este motivo, es necesario conocer qué motivaciones determinan la elección de cada medio de transporte. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar qué factores psicológicos explican la elección del automóvil y del TP. Se efectuó una revisión sistemática de la literatura de los últimos 11 años, obteniendo 21 artículos. Los resultados indicaron que los procesos intencionales, serían los que mejor explican la conducta de usar el automóvil y el TP. Aunque en ocasiones su poder explicativo se incrementa al incluir en el modelo a los procesos automáticos y normativos. No obstante, el hábito sería más importante en la elección del automóvil que en la del TP. Se discuten los resultados hallados y se ofrecen lineamientos para investigaciones futuras.
