TLDR
In this article, the authors developed and tested a measure of travel-related subjective well-being, the nine item self-report satisfaction with travel scale (STS), which measures the benefits individuals derive from travel improvements.Abstract:
Subjective well-being (SWB) that includes individuals' cognitive and affective evaluations of life in general is proposed to be a more appropriate measure capturing the benefits individuals derive from travel improvements. We develop and test a measure of travel-related SWB, the nine item self-report satisfaction with travel scale (STS). In a survey of 155 undergraduates, STS, mood ratings, and ratings of SWB were collected for three hypothetical weekdays differing in travel mode, travel time, access to bus stops, and daily activity agenda. The results showed that STS is reliable and differentiates between changes in travel conditions. STS, mood, and to some extent SWB were shown to be affected by travel mode (bus vs. car), travel time, access to bus stops, and the number of activities in the daily agenda.read more

Collaborative capacity as an institutionalized practice for sustainable travel
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined the role of collaborative capacity as an institutionalized practice in public transport by providing a 10-year collaborative academic and non-academic partnership case study from Sweden, including interviews with key nonacademics, and concluded that developing a collaborative capacity among both nonacademic and academic partners can increase the possibility of contributing to difficult societal challenges, such as achieving a sustainable future.

The Satisfaction with Life Scale
TL;DR: The Satisfaction With Life Scale is narrowly focused to assess global life satisfaction and does not tap related constructs such as positive affect or loneliness, but is shown to have favorable psychometric properties, including high internal consistency and high temporal reliability.

Subjective Well-Being: Three Decades of Progress
TL;DR: Wilson's (1967) review of the area of subjective well-being (SWB) advanced several conclusions regarding those who report high levels of "happiness". A number of his conclusions have been overturned: youth and modest aspirations no longer are seen as prerequisites of SWB.
