The goal for most urban areas within the European Union is the transition to sustainable mobility, achieving CO 2 neutrality by 2035, at least in the inner-city areas. The research field of transport be- haviour has already been investigated in literature from various perspectives. However, both in science and in practical implementation, there is a shortage of research in the area of transport mode choice for leisure activities, with a concentration on Poland and Germany. The aim of this article is to identify underlying behaviour attitudes, which impact the transport mode choice for leisure activities in Warsaw and Berlin, where mobility is becoming increasingly important along- side daily commuting. Besides a comprehensive literature and internet research, a survey was conducted to obtain new insights from the data analysis. The focus is on generations Z, Y and X and thus includes survey participants aged 18 to 56. Based on descriptive statistics, a bivariate pre- liminary analysis was executed to find out significant potential predictors. The final specified exploratory model comprises a binary logistic regression analysis to identify influencing factors for the transport mode choice for leisure time activities. The analysis shows that the core influenc- ing factors are the availability of a car, income, and satisfaction with access to public transport. Although future expectations suggest that alternative modes of transportation for recreation have to be improved, the car remains dominant because it represents a high degree of freedom and per- ceived comfort. Secondary data shows that congestion and burdens from air pollution are increas- ing and require a more holistic implementation of a sustainable mobility approach focusing on environmental factors and the quality of life of urban citizens. Based on data collection from a structured survey, new insights were gained on important drivers influencing the choice of transport for leisure activities with reference to the cities of Warsaw and Berlin. In addition, it pro- vides guidance and ideas of how the transport services could be improved and how to incentivise more sustainable mobility behaviour among urban citizens.(original abstract)
